§ 14324 License Fee Validity Period

• •The fee covers the license only until the end of the year it’s issued.
• •You don’t have to pay a new fee until the next calendar year.
• •If the license is issued late in the year, the fee still covers the remaining months.

You apply for a driver's permit in June and pay the application fee.

The fee you paid will keep your permit valid until December 31 of that same year, so you don’t have to pay again until the next year.
