  • How do I apply for a learner’s permit?

    To apply for your permit, visit a Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) branch with proof of identity, Social Security number, lawful status, and Indiana residency. You must pass a vision screening and a written knowledge test. If you’re under 18, you must also submit a signed Agreement of Financial Liability from a parent or guardian.

Probationary & Unrestricted Driver’s License FAQ

  • What is an Indiana probationary driver’s license?

    A probationary driver’s license is issued to individuals under 21 and comes with certain restrictions that gradually phase out as the driver gains experience.

  • What are the requirements to obtain a probationary license?

    To qualify, you must hold a learner’s permit for at least 180 days, complete 50 hours of supervised driving (including 10 hours at night), and pass a driving skills test. You will have the decision on whether or not you enroll in driver education as a probationary driver. If you choose not to, you will be required to wait for an extra 180 before you can apply for the license.

  • What are the restrictions of a probationary license?

    • Nighttime Driving: For the first 180 days, you cannot drive between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. After that, and until turning 18, additional restrictions apply:
      • Saturday and Sunday, between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
      • Sunday through Thursday, after 11 p.m.
      • Monday through Friday, before 5 a.m.
    • Passenger Restrictions: During the first 180 days, you cannot drive with passengers unless accompanied by a licensed instructor, a driver 25 or older, or a spouse who is at least 21. Siblings and step-siblings are exempt from this rule.

  • When does the probationary license expire?

    Your probationary license expires 30 days after your 21st birthday. A day after your 21st birthday, you will be eligible to upgrade to your full, unrestricted driver’s license.

  • When can I get a full, unrestricted driver’s license?

    Once you turn 21, your probationary license restrictions will be lifted, and you will qualify for a full Indiana driver’s license. If you are over the age of 21 and haven’t had a probationary license, you may obtain your full driver’s license 180 days after applying for your learner’s permit.
