Your Guide to Columbia Tennessee Online Driver Education and Licensing Procedures
The process of applying for your Columbia Tennessee learner's permit or first Columbia Tennessee driver's license can be nerve-racking, but it doesn't have to be if you have the right information. The first thing you need to know is that Columbia Tennessee has a Graduated Driver License Program for Columbia Tennessee teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Columbia Tennessee driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. Our goal is to help you get the most out of this process as possible, so let's get started!The Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit or Columbia Tennessee Learner’s Permit
When you turn 15, you can finally apply for a Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit, otherwise known as a Columbia Tennessee Instruction Permit. In order to apply, you need:
- A Minor/Teenage Affidavit and Cancellation form signed by your parent/guardian
- Proof of Social Security Number
- Proof of U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident Status
- Proof of Enrollment , otherwise known as a Certificate of Compulsory School Attendance Form. This must be signed by a school official and is valid for 30 days
- Proof of Identity
Once you’re ready, head on down to your local Columbia Tennessee Driver Services Center with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test, as well as a written exam. If you survive, then congratulations: you’ve just earned your Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit! The permit is valid for 1 year.
Columbia Tennessee Instruction Permit Restrictions
Here's a list of what you can and can't do with your learner's permit:
- You can only practice driving with a parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21.
- You may not drive between the hours of 10PM and 6AM.
- You must carry your Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit with you at all times.
If you can manage this for 180 days and meet a few more requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Columbia Tennessee Graduated License Program, the Columbia Tennessee Intermediate License.
The Columbia Tennessee Provisional License or Columbia Tennessee Intermediate License
You can apply for your Columbia Tennessee Restricted Intermediate License once you’ve held your Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit for 180 days. You’ll need to make sure you follow these requirements:
- Be at least 16
- Complete 50 hours of supervised driving practice - at least 10 hours must be at night
- Hold a Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit for 180 days without incident
- No Columbia Tennessee traffic violations that add up to more than 6 points on your Columbia Tennessee driving record
- Your parents/guardian, or driving instructor must sign a verification form
Then, make an appointment and head on down to your local Columbia Tennessee Driver Services Center. Be sure to bring your identification documents, including your Columbia Tennessee Learner Permit. Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Columbia Tennessee road test! If you pass, then take a deep breath: you’ve just earned your Columbia Tennessee Intermediate License!
Columbia Tennessee Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
You've come a long way, but you still have a few months of good behavior to go before you've earned your full license. There are a few restrictions concerning your Columbia Tennessee Intermediate License:
- No using a cell phone (or hand-held device) while driving
- All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts
- No more than 1 passenger (unless a licensed driver 21 or older is with you)
- No driving between 11PM and 6AM unless you’re going to/from your job, a school sanctioned activity (which require written permission), or hunting/fishing 4AM-6AM (requires license)
After you turn 17 and have had your Columbia Tennessee Intermediate Restricted License for 1 year, you graduate to a Columbia Tennessee Intermediate Unrestricted License, provided you have no more than 6 points on your Columbia Tennessee driving record (or less than 2 safety belt violations) and have not been involved in an at-fault traffic accident.
You're almost at the finish line. Once you turn 18, you may finally apply for your Columbia Tennessee Regular Driver License. Freedom!

The fine is $100, as well as possible delay in the Columbia Tennessee graduated license process. And all Columbia Tennessee drivers are prohibited from text messaging while driving.
