Vision Screenings

A DMV representative will conduct a vision screening on a scheduled date. If you successfully complete the screening, a Restricted Instruction Permit is issued that allows you to take behind-the-wheel lessons. This permit is held by the driving school.

Your permit will not be issued if you are absent on the day of the vision exam, forget your corrective lenses, fail the vision test, or do not fill out your permit paperwork correctly. You will need to wait until the next vision screening to get your permit.

If you fail the vision screening, you will be given an 804 form to take to a vision specialist. You will need to turn this form in to your instructor and wait for the DMV representative to approve your paperwork at the next vision screening. If the specialist prescribes corrective lenses, you must wear them while driving.

You will not be able to take behind-the-wheel lessons until you have taken the 30-hour classroom and passed the vision screening given by the DMV representative.
