When you're 15-16, you can apply for a  Class E Winnfield Louisiana Learner's Permit. You'll need to make an appointment at your local Winnfield Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) and bring the following:

• Birth certificate
• Two forms of identification
• Social Security card
• $24.50 fee
• proof of a completed 38 hour Driver Education Course

At your local Winnfield Louisiana OMV, you'll take these materials and then have to pass a Winnfield Louisiana written exam, a vision screening, and a traffic signs test. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Winnfield Louisiana learner's permit. Remember that with your Winnfield Louisiana learner's permit, you can only practice driving with another licensed driver over 21 or a licensed sibling who is at least 18. After you've had your Winnfield Louisiana learner permit for 180 days, you'll be ready to apply for your Winnfield Louisiana intermediate driver's license.

Your Winnfield Louisiana Intermediate Driver's License

In order to apply for your Winnfield Louisiana intermediate driver's license, you'll need to make sure you follow a few Winnfield Louisiana State requirements before heading down to your local Winnfield Louisiana OMV.

• Have your Winnfield Louisiana learner's permit in good standing for 180 days
• Bring the proper identification
• Don't forget proof of insurance for your vehicle
• Remember that your vehicle inspection sticker, license plates, and registration need to be up-to-date
• The road test fee (which varies depending on your local OMV)

However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you've held your Winnfield Louisiana intermediate driver's license for another 180 days in good standing.

Once you turn 17, you can return to your local Winnfield Louisiana OMV, bringing all of your documentation, and apply for your Winnfield Louisiana full license!
