What it costs to apply for a learner permit, take the knowledge and skills tests, and get your first license.

Learner permit fee

$48

Source: s. 322.21(1)(b), Florida Statutes: an original Class E driver license is $48, and Florida issues the learner's license as an original Class E credential, so the same $48 applies.
