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