Pearl Mississippi Online Driver Education and Pearl Mississippi Licensing Procedures
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit or first Pearl Mississippi Driver's license. Pearl Mississippi has a Graduated Driver License Program for Pearl Mississippi teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Pearl Mississippi driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.
Pearl Mississippi Instructional Permit and Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit
The minimum age to apply for a Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit is 14 and a half, but this permit will only allow you to practice as part of a Pearl Mississippi approved driver education program. At 15, you can apply for a regular old Pearl 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 Pearl 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 Pearl Mississippi Instruction Permit.
Remember that with your Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Pearl 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 Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Pearl Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Pearl Mississippi Graduated License Program.
The Pearl Mississippi Intermediate License and Pearl Mississippi Full License

- Hold your Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit for at least 6 months - 1 year without incident
- Bring the same information as for the Pearl Mississippi Learner's Permit
- $6 fee (cash only)
If you've completed these requirements, head on down to your local Pearl Mississippi Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Pearl Mississippi Intermediate License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Pearl Mississippi Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
