Imagine this: You’re freshly 16, and you’re itching to start driving on your own. But you’ve got to pass the Arizona road test first. But it’s a little intimidating and you’re not sure what to expect. 

We know taking the actual road test can be stressful and it might be nerve-wracking to walk into a Motor Vehicle Division office without knowing the process. The video below takes teens through what they can expect when they go to the local MVD to get their driver license. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

Before going to the MVD:

The holiday season is officially in full swing. Thanksgiving is over, leftovers are cleaned out of the fridge and everyone is busy getting ready for the next holiday celebration. After you get the decorations and ugly sweaters out of the closet, you might want to also take a moment to update your license or ID to the Arizona Travel ID. Take the time now and avoid the last minute rush that will be here before you know it. 

Remember that feeling when you first got your driver license? A feeling of independence,and accomplishment? Most people tend to forget about their driver license or ID card once it is in the wallet or purse. 

Unfortunately, there is a segment of our community that realizes how important these cards can be. Individuals experiencing instability or homelessness need to be able to show an ID card to get the services and employment opportunities to get off the streets.
