Southaven Mississippi Online Driver Education and Southaven Mississippi Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit or first Southaven Mississippi Driver's license. Southaven Mississippi has a Graduated Driver License Program for Southaven Mississippi teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Southaven Mississippi driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.

Southaven Mississippi Instructional Permit and Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit

The minimum age to apply for a Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit is 14 and a half, but this permit will only allow you to practice as part of a Southaven Mississippi approved driver education program. At 15, you can apply for a regular old Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit. You'll need the following:

• Application with notarized signatures from both your parents/guardians
• Social Security Card or printout from the Social Security Administration
• State-issued copy of your birth certificate (hospital certificates NOT acceptable)
• Signed Certificate of School Attendance
• $4 fee (cash only)

Bring these materials to your local Southaven Mississippi Driver Service center. Then you'll have to pass the required vision and written tests. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Southaven Mississippi Instruction Permit.

Remember that with your Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Southaven Mississippi teen drivers are prohibited from using a cell phone to receive or send text messages while driving. Also, every passenger in your car must have their seatbelt fastened. After you've had your Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Southaven Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Southaven Mississippi Graduated License Program.

The Southaven Mississippi Intermediate License and Southaven Mississippi Full License

In order to apply for your Southaven Mississippi Provisional driver's license, you'll need to make sure you follow a few Southaven Mississippi State requirements before heading down to your local Southaven Mississippi Driver service Center:

• Hold your Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit for at least 6 months - 1 year without incident
• Bring the same information as for the Southaven Mississippi Learner's Permit
• $6 fee (cash only)

If you've completed these requirements, head on down to your local Southaven Mississippi Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Southaven Mississippi Intermediate License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Southaven Mississippi Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
