Louisiana offers several types of licenses, including the class E learner’s permit, intermediate driver’s license, and driver’s license for standard vehicles. Young drivers start with a permit before moving on.What do I need to do to get a permit?
To get a learner’s permit in Louisiana, you must be at least 15 years old and enrolled in a state-approved driver’s education course (only necessary if you’re between 15 and 17). You’ll need to pass a vision test (visual acuity of at least 20/40 in one or both eyes) and the written knowledge exam at the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV).Are there restrictions or requirements with a permit?
Yes. If you hold a learner’s permit, you must always be accompanied by a licensed adult who is at least 21 years old (or a licensed sibling who is at least 18). Nighttime driving restrictions may also apply. You must complete a total of 50 hours of supervised driving, with 15 of those hours occurring during evening hours.When can I get my intermediate or full driver’s license?
If you’re between 16 and 18 years old, after holding a permit for at least 180 days you can apply for an intermediate license.

If you’re over 18, you only need to wait 30 days to upgrade to a permanent license, and will not need an intermediate license.

Drivers with an intermediate license cannot drive between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM unless accompanied by a licensed adult (21+). Additionally, between 6:00 PM and 5:00 AM, you cannot transport more than one passenger under 21 who is not an immediate family member.When can I get a full driver’s license?
