Providence Rhode Island Online Driver Education and Providence Rhode Island Licensing Procedures
The process of applying for your Providence Rhode Island learner's permit or first Providence Rhode Island driver's license can be nerve-racking, but it doesn't have to be if you have the right information. The first thing you need to know is that Providence Rhode Island has a Graduated Driver License Program that is specially geared toward younger drivers like yourself. The program will allow you to safely gain driving experience in stages, before being granted full driving privileges.
Each stage of the process has its own guidelines, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Providence Rhode Island driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's right in!
The Providence Rhode Island Limited Instructional Permit or Providence Rhode Island Learner’s Permit
When you turn 16, you can finally apply for a Providence Rhode Island Limited Instruction Permit, otherwise known as a Providence Rhode Island Learner’s Permit. This license will enable you to practice driving with a parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21, has held a valid driver license for 5 years, and is sitting beside you. In order to apply, do the following:
- Complete a 33-hour Providence Rhode Island approved driver education course
- Acquire a Providence Rhode Island Driver’s Manual so you can study for the test
- Bring a certified birth certificate (not a copy), your driver education certificate, and a Social Security card
- Your parent/guardian must sign your Providence Rhode Island Instructional Permit application
- Don’t forget the Providence Rhode Island license fee of $11.50
Once you’re ready, head on down to your local Providence Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test, as well as a written exam. If you make it this far, the reward will be your Providence Rhode Island Limited Instruction Permit, which is valid for 1 year. Remember, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and don't forget to have your Providence Rhode Island Limited Instruction Permit with you at all times.
Once you’ve held your Providence Rhode Island Learner's Permit without incident for 6 months and have met a few more requirements, you’re all set for the next phase in the Providence Rhode Island Graduated License process, the Providence Rhode Island Limited Provisional License.
The Providence Rhode Island Junior Driver License and Providence Rhode Island Full Driver License
You can apply for your Providence Rhode Island Limited Provisional License once you’ve held your Providence Rhode Island Learne'rs Permit for 6 months and have satisfied these requirements:
- Hold your Providence Rhode Island Limited Learner’s Permit for at least 6 months in good standing
- Completed 50 hours of driving practice with a supervising driver - at least 10 practice hours must be at night
- No Providence Rhode Island moving violations or safety belt convictions for the previous 6 months
As soon as you’ve completed these requirements, make an appointment and head down to your local Providence Rhode Island DMV. Be sure to bring:
- A parent/guardian who qualifies as a supervising driver
- $10 license fee
- Proof of active insurance (an insurance card)
- Your valid Providence Rhode Island Limited Instruction Permit
- A vehicle registered in Providence Rhode Island with valid RI inspection sticker and two plates
- Certificate of 50 hours driving practice signed by your parent/guardian
Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Providence Rhode Island road test! If you pass, then congratulations - you’ve just earned your Providence Rhode Island Limited Provisional License! Howeverm you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions for just a little while longer.
You've come a long way, but you still have a few months of good behavior to go before you've earned your full license. Although with supervision you can still drive at any time, there are a few restrictions for your Providence Rhode Island Limited Provisional License that you must follow:
- No driving between 1AM and 5AM unless:
- you’re driving to/from work
- it's a volunteer fire department, rescue squad, or emergency medical service activity
If you violate any of these Providence Rhode Island teen driver license restrictions, your Providence Rhode Island Learner’s Permit or Providence Rhode Island Provisional Instruction License may be suspended.
You're almost at the finish line. After you’ve had your Providence Rhode Island Provisional Instruction License for 1 year, you can apply for a Providence Rhode Island Full Operator’s License. Then, these restrictions are removed. Just go on down to your local Providence Rhode Island DMV--you know the drill. Freedom!
