For Minors: Instruction Permit & Restricted License

For Minors: Instruction Permit & Restricted License

Key thing for those of you under 18: get Mom, Dad, or your guardian to sign your application. And there are a ton of things to remember as a young driver. 

A short list:

  • You must be at least 15 years old to obtain an Instruction Permit and at least 16 years old for a Provisional Driver License.
  • You have to pass the normal vision and written exams for the Provisional License.
  • Bring all of the proper identification. It's a lot harder than you think to get McLovin printed on your license.
  • If you're under 18, you have to be in compliance with school attendance. So, if you planned on dropping out of high school to become a taxi driver, you're out of luck.
  • If you're under 18, you must hold an Instruction Permit for at least six months before upgrading to a Provisional License.
