Because you are 19 you only have to wait 30 days. If you pass the knowledge exam you will receive a learner s license. Meaning that you will be only allowed to drive with someone 21 or older or a relative that holds a valid driver s license.If you were younger than 19 you would have to hold the learners license for 9 months. After you have held your learners for 30 days you can go to DMV and take the road test. If you pass, they will give you your license.Pass Knowledge Exam - Get Learners licensePass Road Test - Get driver s license
Maybe they just have a lot of people ahead of you to take the test. I don t think they would give you a temp. license BEFORE you take the road skills test.
