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