Shelby Mississippi Online Driver Education and Shelby Mississippi Licensing Procedures

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

Shelby Mississippi Instructional Permit and Shelby Mississippi Learner's Permit

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

Remember that with your Shelby Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Shelby 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 Shelby Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Shelby Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Shelby Mississippi Graduated License Program.

The Shelby Mississippi Intermediate License and Shelby Mississippi Full License

In order to apply for your Shelby Mississippi Provisional driver's license, you'll need to make sure you follow a few Shelby Mississippi State requirements before heading down to your local Shelby Mississippi Driver service Center:

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

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