Mapleton Utahhas a Graduated Driver License Program for Mapleton Utahteen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Mapleton Utahdriver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.
The Mapleton UtahLearner Permit or Mapleton UtahInstruction Permit
When you turn 15, you can finally apply for a Mapleton UtahLearner Permit, otherwise known as a Mapleton UtahInstruction Permit. In order to apply, you’ll need:

- Nonrefundable fee of $15
Once you’re ready, head on down to your local Mapleton UtahDriver License Office with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a medical and eye exam, as well as a written exam. If you survive, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Mapleton UtahLearner Permit. Remember, you must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21. Of course, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your Mapleton UtahLearner Permit with you at all times.
Once you’ve held your Mapleton UtahLearner Permit for 6 months have met a few more requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Mapleton UtahGraduated License Program, the Mapleton UtahMinor License.
The Mapleton UtahMinor License or Mapleton UtahIntermediate License
You can apply for your Mapleton UtahMinor License once you’ve held your Mapleton UtahLearner Permit for 6 months and are at least 16 years of age. However, you’ll also need to make sure you meet these requirements:

Then, make an appointment and head on down to your local Mapleton UtahDriver License Office. Be sure to bring the valid identification documents, including your Mapleton UtahLearner Permit. Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Mapleton Utahroad test! If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Mapleton UtahMinor License, otherwise known as the Mapleton UtahProvisional License. However, you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
