Some states have different paths for instructor-led training or special permits. Confirm the path for your age with Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. #### How old do I have to be to get an Alabama learner's license? You can apply for a Stage I learner's license beginning at age 15. You must meet ALEA's documentation requirements and pass the required written examination. (alea.gov) #### Do I need driver education to get an Alabama license? Not necessarily. Alabama allows an eligible teen to satisfy the Stage II training requirement with either at least 50 hours of supervised driving or completion of an SDE-approved driver education course. (alea.gov) #### Does an online driving course automatically replace Alabama's 50 practice hours? No. Only an Alabama State Department of Education-approved driver education course can serve as the alternative to the 50-hour supervised-practice requirement. A supplemental online course does not automatically qualify. (alea.gov) #### What is ALEA? ALEA stands for the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. ALEA issues Alabama learner's licenses and driver licenses and administers the state's Graduated Driver License system. (alea.gov) #### What do I need to do to get a Stage I learner's license? You must meet Alabama's documentation and school-status requirements, complete the required vision screening, and pass the written examination. A Stage I license is available beginning at age 15.

No. A qualified parent, guardian, licensed driver age 21 or older, or licensed or certified driving instructor must be seated beside you in the front.

Alabama also permits an SDE-approved driver education course as an alternative to the 50-hour requirement. (alea.gov) #### When can I get an Alabama Stage II restricted license? You must be at least 16. If you are under 18, you must also have held your Stage I license for at least six months, completed the required practice or approved driver education option, obtained the required permission, and passed the road skills test. (alea.gov) #### How many passengers can I have with a Stage II license? You may not have more than one passenger who is not a parent, legal guardian, or family member.

(alea.gov) #### Can I use my phone while driving with a Stage II license? You may not use a handheld communication device while driving with a Stage II license. Keeping your phone out of your hand is also an important way to reduce distracted driving. (alea.gov) #### When can I get an unrestricted Alabama driver's license? You can qualify for Stage III at age 17 after holding your Stage II license for at least six months. (alea.gov) #### What happens if I violate a Stage II restriction?

Certain moving violations or serious offenses can also lead to a 60-day suspension. (alea.gov) #### Does Teendrivingcourse replace the Alabama permit or road test? No. An online course does not replace the ALEA written or road skills examinations. If you intend to use a driver education course instead of the 50-hour practice requirement, verify that the course is approved by the Alabama State Department of Education. (alea.gov) #### What are Alabama's minimum auto insurance requirements?

The provisional license requires six months with no traffic violations, so a ticket, including camera enforcement, can push your timeline back. In the District, the clean record is the requirement. ## Guides ### Teen driver insurance rates: questions to ask https://www.teendrivingcourse.com/teen-driver-insurance-rates Published 2016-05-26, updated 2026-09-14. There is no single insurance price for every teen driver. Before your teen starts driving, ask your insurer how to handle a learner’s permit and a newly licensed driver on your policy. Give insurers the same information When requesting quotes, accurately describe the drivers in your household, the vehicles they use, and how those vehicles are driven. Ask how adding your teen changes the premium and whether a separate policy is an option for your situation. The NAIC’s guide to insuring a teen driver explains what to discuss with an insurer. Compare coverage as well as price Line up quotes using the same coverage limits and deductibles. A lower premium can come with different protection or a larger amount you would pay yourself after a covered claim. Review the declarations page with your agent and ask them to explain unfamiliar terms. Ask about discounts Ask whether good grades, driver education, or other programs qualify your teen for a discount. Eligibility and savings depend on the insurer; completing a course does not guarantee a lower rate. Find out what documentation is needed and how long any discount lasts. Bring a short checklist When must we add our teen to the policy? Which vehicles and drivers does this quote cover? What limits, deductibles, and exclusions should we understand? Which discounts apply, and what proof do you need? Use the NAIC’s declarations-page checklist to review the details before choosing coverage. Sources: - [NAIC: Insuring a teen driver](https://content.naic.org/article/consumer-insight-protect-yourself-insuring-teen-driver) - [NAIC: Understanding your declarations page](https://content.naic.org/article/consumer-insight-declarations-saving) ### Passenger restrictions for teen drivers https://www.teendrivingcourse.com/passenger-restrictions-for-teen-drivers Published 2016-05-21, updated 2026-09-14. A new license brings independence, but carrying friends can make it harder for an inexperienced driver to concentrate. Passenger limits give teens time to build experience with fewer distractions. Start with your state’s rules Graduated driver licensing rules vary by state and license stage. Check your licensing agency’s current guidance for passenger limits, supervision requirements, exceptions, and when restrictions end. A friend’s rules in another state may not apply to you. Choose your state to find its licensing agency and driver education FAQs. Agree on a family plan Decide who may ride along before handing over the keys. Set additional household limits when your teen needs more practice. Require everyone to buckle up and keep phones put away. Make an alternative ride plan so your teen can decline a trip that breaks the rules. Keep the conversation going Review the plan as your teen gains experience. Parents can reinforce safe habits by following the same distraction-free driving practices themselves. Read NHTSA’s teen driving guidance together.
