Indianola Mississippi Online Driver Education and Indianola Mississippi Licensing Procedures

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

Indianola Mississippi Instructional Permit and Indianola Mississippi Learner's Permit

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

Remember that with your Indianola Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Indianola 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 Indianola Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Indianola Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Indianola Mississippi Graduated License Program.

The Indianola Mississippi Intermediate License and Indianola Mississippi Full License

• Bring the same information as for the Indianola Mississippi Learner's Permit
• $6 fee (cash only)

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