Florence Mississippi Online Driver Education and Florence Mississippi Licensing Procedures

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

Florence Mississippi Instructional Permit and Florence Mississippi Learner's Permit

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

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

The Florence Mississippi Intermediate License and Florence Mississippi Full License

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

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

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