Where can I find information about getting a learners permit to drive?
To apply for a driver’s learner permit, you must be 16 years of age or older, you must show proof of identity, and you must show your social security card. Proof of identity must have a total value of at least six points and must prove your date of birth. After you pay the application fee and the driver license fee, pass the vision test and the written test, you will receive your permit.
