If my daughter has her permit ..does it have to be her parent that brings her in to change the permit

Q) If my daughter has her permit and has her paper from drivers Ed does it have to be her parent that brings her in to change the permit to a restricted or can another related adult bring her in to change her over to a restricted license?

A) The requirements for obtaining a restricted license may vary depending on the state where you live. However, in general, a parent or legal guardian is typically required to be present when a minor applies for a restricted license.

If your daughter has completed the requirements for a restricted license and needs to visit the DMV to obtain it, you should check with your state’s DMV to determine whether a parent or legal guardian is required to be present. In some states, an adult over the age of 21 who is related to the minor may be able to sign the necessary paperwork in place of a parent or legal guardian.

If your state allows an adult over 21 to sign the paperwork for a minor’s restricted license, it’s important to confirm what documents or forms of identification are required for both the minor and the adult. Some states may require the adult to present proof of their relationship to the minor, such as a birth certificate or guardianship papers.

In any case, it’s always a good idea to call the DMV in advance to confirm the requirements and avoid any potential issues or delays when obtaining a restricted license for your daughter.

In most states, any adult who has the legal authority to act on behalf of the minor can bring them to the DMV to get their restricted driver’s license. This includes parents, guardians, step-parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and siblings. The adult will need to present their own driver’s license and proof of their relationship to the minor.

However, there are a few states that have more restrictive requirements. For example, in California, only the minor’s parent or guardian can bring them to the DMV to get their restricted driver’s license. If the minor is emancipated, they can bring another adult who has the legal authority to act on their behalf.

It is always best to check with your local DMV to see what the specific requirements are in your state.
