  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Learners Permit And Drivers Permit

  Nearly every state requires each teen or new driver to obtain a learners permit – and hold that permit for a certain time period – before he or she can move on to the full drivers license (or, depending on the state’s graduated driver licensing program, the next level of drivers permit). Actually, unless you live in New Hampshire, if you’re a new driver you can expect to hold some kind of learners permit, or observe a certain length of a waiting period before your written and road tests, regardless of whether you’re a teen or adult. Once you’ve checked your state in the grid below, find out how long you’re required to hold a permit (or wait before taking your road test). Then, you can start making plans for obtaining your permit, such as taking a..

• Do I need a TN drivers permit before applying for a Tennessee drivers license?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Learners Permit And Drivers Permit

  Not necessarily. For instance, if you're at least 18 years old, you've already graduated from high school, or you have a current drivers license from another state, you won't need to get a Tennessee driving permit before applying. Depending on your situation, though, you may have to pass a vision, knowledge, and road test to get your Tennessee license; for example, if you're a Tennessee resident who's never been issued a drivers license, or you're new to the Volunteer State and your out-of-state license expired more than six months ago. Should you need to take a written permit test, be sure to prepare by studying the TN driver handbook (available through the state's Department of Safety site). It contains the information you'll need to know to pass the test. It's a good idea to reinforce..
