How to register your car and how to get a Californian drivers license?

• To register cars as well as to take driving exams it is necessary to go to one of the DMVs (Department of Motor Vehicles) in California
• In case you want to have a specific string on your license plate you can register Special Interest License Plates online for an additional yearly fee, but need to be picked up at a DMV office - more on dmv.ca.gov
• To avoid long waiting lines it's strongly recommended to make an appointment in advance, but they are usually booked out weeks in advance (might be different if you just want to get the Californian drivers license)
• To do the behind-the-wheel test you will need to bring your own (or someone else's) car
