Getting a drivers license for the first time?

Question

Hi, I am turning 18 in two days, I live in TN, i never have had a drivers license before. What will I need to do to get one. All of the info on the DMV site just gave me info for people under 18.

Answer 1

No matter if you are 16 or 60, you have to take the same tests for your permit & later your license.  Only basic difference between 17 & 18 is more restrictions if you are in school &/or a minor.  Go to your local DMV, talk to the clerk, & get the drivers manual.  To apply for your permit, you will need a birth certificate & a social security card or some alternative documentation.  Study the manual for your permit test & take a driver's ed course.  If you are still in high school, your school should offer one or direct you to an accredited driving school & many states, like TN, do have restrictions for those still in school, like a certain time when you cannot be driving.  After fulfilling the requirements set forth by the state, you can take your driving test.   Good luck!!!
