Macon Mississippi Online Driver Education and Macon Mississippi Licensing Procedures

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

Macon Mississippi Instructional Permit and Macon Mississippi Learner's Permit

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

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

The Macon Mississippi Intermediate License and Macon Mississippi Full License

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

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

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