State-Specific Requirements

  • Mississippi's regular learner permit begins at age 15 and requires proof of school enrollment or other qualifying school-status documentation for most applicants under 18
  • Applicants must pass both the knowledge and eye exam, and the regular learner permit is generally valid for 2 years
  • A 16-year-old generally must hold the learner permit for 12 months or until the 17th birthday before qualifying for a regular Class R license
  • Applicants age 17 and older may obtain the learner permit and driver license on the same day after passing the knowledge and eye exam and presenting required documents
  • Mississippi public materials reviewed were much clearer about permit-age, school-status, and holding-period rules than the exact scored question count, so the app uses a best-fit 30-question, 80% study format

Who This Is For
