Idaho Driver's License

If you fail the ID Driving Exam, you will not receive your ID Driver's License. You will be able to retake the exam after three days have passed. However, you should not rush retaking it after you have failed. You should pay attention to what your examiner indicates as your weaknesses, and you should work upon improving your driving skills.
After you pass your ID Driving Exam, you will need to take your test results, which will be inside a sealed envelope, to the Idaho Department of Transportation. There, you will receive your license.
