Grenada Mississippi Online Driver Education and Grenada Mississippi Licensing Procedures
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit or first Grenada Mississippi Driver's license. Grenada Mississippi has a Graduated Driver License Program for Grenada Mississippi teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Grenada Mississippi driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.
Grenada Mississippi Instructional Permit and Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit
The minimum age to apply for a Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit is 14 and a half, but this permit will only allow you to practice as part of a Grenada Mississippi approved driver education program. At 15, you can apply for a regular old Grenada 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 Grenada 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 Grenada Mississippi Instruction Permit.
Remember that with your Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Grenada 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 Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Grenada Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Grenada Mississippi Graduated License Program.
The Grenada Mississippi Intermediate License and Grenada Mississippi Full License
In order to apply for your Grenada Mississippi Provisional driver's license, you'll need to make sure you follow a few Grenada Mississippi State requirements before heading down to your local Grenada Mississippi Driver service Center:
- Hold your Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit for at least 6 months - 1 year without incident
- Bring the same information as for the Grenada Mississippi Learner's Permit
- $6 fee (cash only)
If you've completed these requirements, head on down to your local Grenada Mississippi Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Grenada Mississippi Intermediate License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Grenada Mississippi Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
