Brookhaven Mississippi Online Driver Education and Brookhaven Mississippi Licensing Procedures

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

Brookhaven Mississippi Instructional Permit and Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit

The minimum age to apply for a Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit is 14 and a half, but this permit will only allow you to practice as part of a Brookhaven Mississippi approved driver education program. At 15, you can apply for a regular old Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit. You'll need the following:

• Application with notarized signatures from both your parents/guardians
• Social Security Card or printout from the Social Security Administration
• State-issued copy of your birth certificate (hospital certificates NOT acceptable)
• Signed Certificate of School Attendance
• $4 fee (cash only)

Bring these materials to your local Brookhaven Mississippi Driver Service center. Then you'll have to pass the required vision and written tests. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Brookhaven Mississippi Instruction Permit.

Remember that with your Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Brookhaven Mississippi teen drivers are prohibited from using a cell phone to receive or send text messages while driving. Also, every passenger in your car must have their seatbelt fastened. After you've had your Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Brookhaven Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Brookhaven Mississippi Graduated License Program.

The Brookhaven Mississippi Intermediate License and Brookhaven Mississippi Full License

• Hold your Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit for at least 6 months - 1 year without incident
• Bring the same information as for the Brookhaven Mississippi Learner's Permit
• $6 fee (cash only)

If you've completed these requirements, head on down to your local Brookhaven Mississippi Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Brookhaven Mississippi Intermediate License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Brookhaven Mississippi Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
