After you drive successfully with your learner’s permit for 9 months, you can then obtain a provisional license, and eventually a regular license.

1. 1 Study the Maryland Driver’s Manual. This is available online at http://www.mva.maryland.gov/_resources/docs/DL-002.pdf or in any office of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Authority (MVA). The Maryland Driver’s Manual contains information about the driving laws in Maryland, and will be necessary to pass the written knowledge test to get your learner’s permit.
2. 2 Be at least 15 years and 9 months old. In Maryland, you must be at least 15 years and 9 months old before you can apply for your learner’s permit. You will be able to begin taking a classroom instruction program earlier than this. But the minimum age to apply for your learner’s permit is 15 years and 9 months. Advertisement
3. 3 Gather the documents you will need and go to the MVA office. When you are ready, you will need to take the following information with you to your nearest full-service MVA office:
   • Your parents or legal guardian. This may not just be an older friend. One of your parents must be with you to sign your application.
   • Proof of identification. You may take a U.S. Passport, or a birth certificate together with a social security card.
   • Proof of Maryland residence. You need to bring two forms of proof of your residence in Maryland. This could be some combination of utility bills, canceled checks with a printed address, or bank statements to the address.
   • License fee. The fee for a learner’s license is $50. You can pay by credit card, cash, check or money order.
   • If you are under 16 years old when you are applying for your learner’s permit, then you will also need to have the Learner’s Permit School Attendance Certification Form. You can download this form online at http://www.mva.maryland.gov/_resources/docs/DL-300.pdf or pick one up from the MVA office. You may also be able to get one from your school’s office or guidance office. The form must be completed and signed by someone at your school. You then need to deliver it, in a sealed envelope, to the MVA official when you go for your learner’s permit.
4. 4 Take the required tests. When you report to the MVA for your learner’s permit, you will take a written knowledge test and a vision test.
   • Written knowledge test. This will cover information that is in the Maryland Driver’s Manual regarding rules of the road and requirements for driving. The test consists of 25 questions and is administered on a computer. You will need a passing score of 85% in order to pass.
   • Vision test. To pass the vision screening, you must be able to score at least 20/40 eyesight in each eye, and a continuous field of vision (peripheral vision) of at least 140 degrees. A restricted license may be available for people with eyesight of 20/70 and field of vision of 110 degrees.

1. 1 Complete a Driver’s Education Course. This may be a class sponsored by your high school, taught by a private company, or taught by your parents. If you parents teach you, they will need to meet all state requirements and submit a statement of compliance. This class must consist of at least 30 hours of classroom training, and 6 hours of on-the-road instruction.
   • You must have your learner’s permit before you are allowed to begin the driving training portion of any class.
   • The MVA publishes a list of approved driver’s education programs on its website.
   • The driving school will automatically transmit a record of your taking and passing the class to the MVA.
2. 2 Complete at least 60 hours of driving practice. With your learner’s permit, you must have a licensed adult over age 21 in the car with you, and you must keep a log of the hours you drive. At least 10 hours must be night driving, and the MVA recommends that you try to spend at least some time practicing driving in poor weather.
   • If you are over 25, you must still complete a practice log, but you are only required to show 14 hours of practice driving.
   • The MVA publishes a “Rookie Driver: New Driver and Coach Practice Guide.” This Guide contains a form that you can use to record your practice hours. You will need to take that log with you when you return to the MVA office for your provisional license.
3. 3 Use your learner’s permit for at least nine months. The purpose of the learner’s permit is to give you the opportunity to drive, with a qualified adult in the car, and practice your driving skills before getting a provisional license. You are encouraged to get as much practice as you can during these nine months, so when you go for your driving skills test, you will have had plenty of practice.
4. 4 Be at least 16 years, six months old. Because you must drive with a learner’s permit for at least nine months, and the earliest you can get it is 15 years and nine months, then the earliest possible age for the provisional license is 16 years and six months old. This provisional license will be the one you use until you turn 18.
   • You must hold the learner’s permit for a minimum of 9 months. If you have any driving infractions during this time, your provisional license will be delayed.
5. 5 Contact the MVA office nearest you to schedule your driving test. You must schedule an appointment for your driving test. Tests are not available on a walk-in basis.
   • From the MVA home page, www.mva.maryland.gov, select the link to “Locations” to find the MVA offices throughout the state.
   • You can use the link at https://mvascheduling.mdot.state.md.us/ to schedule an appointment online, or you can visit the office where you wish to take the test and schedule an appointment in person.
6. 6 Attend your driving test. The driving skills test is a test of your ability to operate a car on the public roadways. If you have logged the required 60 hours of practice time, you should be ready for the driving test.
   • You should come to the driving test with a vehicle that is in good operating condition and has at least a half-tank of gas.
   • For your own comfort, this should be the vehicle that you spent most of the time practicing in.
   • You and your parent (or other responsible adult whose car you are using) must complete and sign the Certification of Insurance and Authorization to Operate Vehicle. This form certifies that the car you will be using for the driving test is in good condition and is insured.
7. 7 Understand what your provisional license allows. With a provisional license, the following rules apply:
   • You may only drive between 5:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m., unless a licensed driver over 21 years old is with you, or you are driving to or from a job, official school activity, volunteer program or athletic event.
   • You may not drive with passengers under the age of 18, except immediate family members.
