There are several types of learner's permits available, depending on your age and experience. The most common type of learner's permit is for new drivers who are under 18 years old. This type of permit allows you to drive with a licensed adult over the age of 21 in the passenger seat. You may also be required to take a driver's education course and pass a written test in order to obtain a learner's permit.
Other types of learner's permits include:
* Restricted learner's permit: This type of permit is for drivers who are over 18 years old but have never had a driver's license before. It allows you to drive without a licensed adult in the passenger seat, but only during certain times of day and for certain purposes, such as driving to work or school.
* Commercial learner's permit: This type of permit is for drivers who want to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL). It allows you to drive commercial vehicles, such as buses or trucks, but only with a licensed CDL holder in the passenger seat.

To get a learner's permit, you will need to visit your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office and provide the following documents:
* Proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport

You may also be required to take a vision test and a written test in order to obtain a learner's permit.
Driving with a learner's permit
When driving with a learner's permit, you must follow all of the rules of the road. You must also display a learner's permit decal on the front and back of your vehicle. If you are caught driving with a learner's permit without a licensed adult in the passenger seat, you may be ticketed and your permit may be suspended.
Getting a driver's license
After you have held your learner's permit for the required amount of time, you can apply for a driver's license. To do this, you will need to visit your local DMV office and provide the following documents:
* Your learner's permit
* Proof of identity
* Proof of residency
* A completed application form

You may also be required to take a road test in order to obtain a driver's license.
Once you have passed the road test, you will be issued a driver's license. This license will allow you to drive without any restrictions.
