Church Point Louisiana Online Driver Education and Church Point Louisiana Licensing Procedures

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

Church Point Louisiana Instructional Permit or Church Point Louisiana Learner Permit

When you're 15-16, you can apply for a  Class E Church Point Louisiana Learner's Permit. You'll need to make an appointment at your local Church Point 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 Church Point Louisiana OMV, you'll take these materials and then have to pass a Church Point Louisiana written exam, a vision screening, and a traffic signs test. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Church Point Louisiana learner's permit. Remember that with your Church Point 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 Church Point Louisiana learner permit for 180 days, you'll be ready to apply for your Church Point Louisiana intermediate driver's license.

Your Church Point Louisiana Intermediate Driver's License

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

• Have your Church Point 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)

If you pass the dreaded road exam, then congratulations again. You've just earned your Church Point Louisiana intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you've held your Church Point Louisiana intermediate driver's license for another 180 days in good standing.

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