The documents required for a permit may vary depending on the state and the type of permit. In Texas, to apply for a learners permit, you must bring the following documents:

• Proof of U.S. Citizenship or Evidence of Lawful Presence
• Proof of identity
• Proof of residency (two documents)
• Proof of Social Security number
• Proof of insurance for all vehicles you own
• Proof of Texas vehicle registration for all vehicles you own
• Proof of driver’s education completion
• Verification of enrollment and attendance in school (or equivalent)
• Form DL-14B or Form DL-14A
• Issuance fee ($16)

Acceptable documents for each category are listed on the Texas DPS website. It is important to bring all the required documents to avoid being turned away and having to come back another day.
