The California Department of Motor Vehicles is extending driver’s license permits with an expiration date through November 30, 2020.

The extension will allow student drivers more time to prepare for and schedule their behind-the-wheel drive test during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligible permits are extended six months or to a date 24 months from the date of application, whichever is earlier. The DMV previously extended permits expiring between March 1 and August 31, 2020. The extensions require no action on the part of the drivers, and the DMV has alerted law enforcement of the extensions.
