What is the minimum age to obtain a California driver's license?

  1. 14

  2. 16

  3. 18

  4. 21

The correct answer is: 16

To obtain a California driver's license, you must be at least 16 years old. This is reflected in the California's provisional licensing system, which requires individuals to first obtain a learner's permit at the age of 15 and a half before being eligible for a driver's license at 16 years old. Option A is incorrect because 14 is below the minimum age requirement. Option C and D are also incorrect because they are over the age of 16.
