This form allows teenagers who have been legally declared emancipated (freed from parental control by a court) to apply for a driver's license or ID card from the California Department of Motor Vehicles without needing a parent's signature. An emancipated minor would use this form because they are now legally independent and can make their own decisions about getting a license.
This form has fillable fields — you can complete it directly in the viewer on the right.
