Relevant questions:

Do I need permission from immigration officials to apply for a driver’s license?

You should have a green card and a social security number to apply for a driver’s license. You also can apply for a license if you have other identification from immigration officials and a social security card.

What is the difference between a learner’s permit and a driver’s license?

Everyone who wants to drive needs to apply first for a learner’s permit and pass a multiple-choice test. You can drive with a learner’s permit, but you always need to be with another driver who is at least 21 years old and has a driver’s license. Afterward, you have to take a driving test. If you pass the driving test, you will get a driver’s license with which you can drive alone.

When can I apply for a learner’s permit? And then when can I apply for a driver’s license?

When you are 16 years old, you can apply for a learner’s permit to drive with the help of a person who has their license. If you are between 16 ½ and 18 years old, you can apply for a driver’s license after practicing with your learner’s permit for six months and completing a driver’s education class.

If you are older than 18 years old, you still need to apply for and get a learner’s permit before you can apply for a driver’s license. But you can apply for a driver’s license immediately without practicing with a permit and without taking a class.
