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
