Practice Makes Perfect
A learner's permit is given by the MVA so students can practice driving with their parent(s)/mentor, and is needed to complete the In-Car portion of Driver Education.
To obtain a learner's permit, a new driver must:
-be at least 15 years, 9 months old
-pass a written knowledge test at the MVA (20 Questions/85% passing)
-possess and bring:
-social security card
-state-issued birth certificate (will also accept Military ID, State ID,
or Current Passport)
-an attendance verification form completed by the student's school if
under the age of 16 (available at mva.maryland.gov)
-pay $50.
