 Just checked the DMV's website. According to this document, you'd need this:

♦ Passport, 
♦ Visa* or Immigration documentation indicating this status,                                                                                                                                            
♦ I -94, and                                                                               
♦ Form I-20.  

I'd think the I-94 and I-20 would prove your F-1 status, ask the person to talk to his/her supervisor if you get hassled and explain your situation.
