Who must you bring to the DMV or ABC Title to obtain your learner's permit or driver's license?

To obtain your learner's permit or driver's license, it is necessary to bring the custodial parent or legal guardian with you to the DMV or ABC Title. This requirement is in place to ensure that the person responsible for you as a minor provides their consent for you to apply for a permit or license. The presence of a custodial parent or legal guardian serves as a form of validation that they acknowledge and support your intention to drive, which is crucial for safety and legal reasons.

The other options do not fulfill this legal requirement. A friend, even if they are over 18, cannot provide the necessary consent or a legal presence required for such applications. Similarly, while any family member may have a supportive role, they do not have the legal authority unless they are your custodial parent or guardian. Lastly, although your driving instructor plays an important part in your training, they do not have the legal responsibility or authority to accompany you for the purpose of obtaining a learner's permit or driver's license.
