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

- Bring the same information as for the Brandon Mississippi Learner's Permit

If you've completed these requirements, head on down to your local Brandon Mississippi Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Brandon Mississippi Intermediate License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Brandon Mississippi Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
