Jonesboro Louisiana Instructional Permit or Jonesboro Louisiana Learner Permit

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

Your Jonesboro Louisiana Intermediate Driver's License

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

• Have your Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro Louisiana intermediate driver's license for another 180 days in good standing.

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