GET YOUR INDIANA LEARNERS PERMIT!
Learning how to drive is a very important and exciting time of life. The freedom that the open road offers is very enticing to young drivers, but many don't realize the dangers they will face. Without the proper skills and knowledge, first time drivers are at an even greater risk for collisions and injuries on the road. To combat this, the Indiana BMV has instated a Graduated Driver's License System to ensure that young drivers get the training and practice they need before they can hit the road alone.
The Road to Your License
If you are at least 15 years of age, you are ready to start working towards earning your drivers license. Before you begin, however, it's good to understand all of the steps involved:
Step 1: Complete our online drivers ed course.
If you are at least 15 years old, you can register online and begin working right away. You'll work through the course at your own pace by logging on and off as your schedule allows. Once you've passed each section and the final exam, you're all done!
Visit the BMV website for important resources, including the Code of Responsibilities for Driver Education Students and the Bill of Rights for Driver Education Students.
Step 2: Sign-up for behind-the-wheel training.
In addition to the information you learned in our Indiana teen driving course, you will also need to develop some hands-on skills. Once you receive your online drivers ed certificate of completion, you can take it to your Behind-the-Wheel Driving School to enroll. Once you've done so, it's time to head down to the BMV!
Step 3: Get your Indiana Learners Permit.
Once you've fulfilled your drivers ed requirements, you are ready to get your hands on your very own Indiana learners permit! At the BMV, you will be required to:
- Present a Certificate of Driver Education Enrollment from your driving school
- Prove your identity and residency using BMV Accepted Documents
- Pass a Vision Screening
- Pass your Knowledge Examination
- Complete and sign an Agreement of Financial Liability
Upon successful completion of these steps, you will be in possession of an Indiana learners permit that will allow you to take a seat behind the wheel, as long as you are with your driving instructor or a licensed adult.
Step 4: Apply for your Indiana drivers license.
By the time you've Logged the appropriate number of hours behind-the-wheel and meet the age requirements, you can Make an Appointment to visit your local BMV to apply for your probationary drivers license. The BMV requires that you meet the following requirements:
- Hold an Indiana learners permit for at least 180 days
- Complete 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice, 10 at night
- Be at least 16-years and 180-days-old
- Pass a Driving Skills Test
With your provisional Indiana driver's license, you will finally be able to hit the road on your own. Your driver's license will remain Probationary until you turn 18, at which point the various restrictions will be lifted.
