费用

首次申领驾照

40 美元

申请时缴纳。

如果你刚到美国

如果你另一个州的驾照已过期

另一个州的过期驾照不能在西弗吉尼亚州更新:你会被当作首次申请人,必须通过视力检查、笔试和路考。如果驾照已过期超过 36 个月,或者驾照已不在你手上,你还必须带上由原发照州出具的、开具日期在 30 天以内的经认证的驾驶记录。

需要的材料

  • 仍在有效期内的证件美国护照或护照卡、美国军人带照片证件在有效期内都算数。如果申请的是非联邦用途的证件,过期不超过 36 个月的西弗吉尼亚州带照片驾照或身份证也算数。

你的社会安全号码(SSN)

提交号码,以及谁能看到它

按照联邦子女抚养费和税务法律的要求,车管局(DMV)会收集每位申请人和每位驾照或身份证持有人的社会安全号码(SSN)。号码只保存在你的 DMV 档案里,不会印在你的学习驾驶许可、驾照或身份证上。

要参加的考试

视力检查

至少一只眼睛的视力达到 20/40 或更好即可通过,可以不戴矫正镜片,也可以戴普通眼镜或隐形眼镜;双光望远镜片(bioptic)、望远镜片及其他特殊镜片都不算数,而且如果你需要矫正才能达到 20/40,驾照上会加注必须佩戴矫正镜片的限制。如果没通过视力筛查,提交一份填好的、显示你的视力符合本州标准的 DLAB Form 2 表,就可以带适当限制通过。

路考

需要

笔试可以考几次

考试次数没有上限,但如果没通过,一周之内不能考第二次——这个等待期是州法律定的,不是办事处的惯例。

笔试练习题

把驾驶员手册全部掌握就足以通过考试,但手册本身只是西弗吉尼亚州机动车法律的部分摘要。

  • 如果要申请摩托车学习驾驶许可、F 类批注或 F 类驾照,你还需要《West Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual》(西弗吉尼亚州摩托车驾驶手册),可以在当地车管局(DMV)地区办事处领取,或在 dmv.wv.gov 获取。

能不能用翻译

请做好用英文参加笔试的准备:官方公布的材料没有承诺提供翻译版试题或口译员,而且考场内只允许你一个人进入——不能带陪同人员,也不能带手机。官方公布的唯一考试便利是为阅读障碍者提供的语音版试题;残障相关的辅助免费,但必须至少提前 48 小时申请。

持学习驾驶许可练车

练车时谁可以陪你

年满 21 岁的持照司机、正在履行职务的驾驶教育或驾校教练,或正在履行职务的车管局(DMV)认证考官。

  • 持 E 类学习驾驶许可时,只有在年满 21 岁的持照司机坐在前排的情况下,你才可以开车。

路考要带什么

谁陪你去

你必须以合法方式抵达考试中心;如果你只有学习驾驶许可,就意味着你不能合法地独自开车前往。手册没有说明送你去的人需要什么年龄或驾照类别。

  • 路考评分表会记录陪同者的姓名和驾照号码,所以这个人必须持有驾照。官方没有对其规定最低年龄或驾照类别。

  • 你必须以合法方式抵达考试地点。路考进行时,车里只能有你、一名或多名考官,以及一名口译员。

考试用车和保险

如果车窗贴膜的透光率低于 35%,或挡风玻璃有破损或裂痕,这辆车就无法通过设备检查。挡风玻璃或车窗上也不得有标志、海报或贴纸,除非法律要求或允许。

  • 带上有效期内的保险证明和有效的车辆注册卡;车上还必须贴有有效的年检贴纸,车况安全、装备合法,你还要能找到并演示车上的安全装备。小毛病可以当场修正,但同一考试日期内不能换另一辆车。
