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

At your local Lake Providence Louisiana OMV, you'll take these materials and then have to pass a Lake Providence Louisiana written exam, a vision screening, and a traffic signs test. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Lake Providence Louisiana learner's permit. Remember that with your Lake Providence 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 Lake Providence Louisiana learner permit for 180 days, you'll be ready to apply for your Lake Providence Louisiana intermediate driver's license.

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

• Bring the proper identification
• Don't forget proof of insurance for your vehicle
