Louisiana Permit Test & Driver’s License FAQ

General Requirements FAQ

  • How many questions are on the Louisiana permit test?

    The Louisiana OMV permit test consists of 40 questions, and you must answer at least 32 questions correctly to get a passing score (80%).

  • What types of driver’s licenses are available?

    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. A full, unrestricted license is available at 17 if all requirements are met. 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. You must also pass a road skills test.

  • What are the restrictions with 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?

    At 17, you can upgrade to a full Class E driver’s license if you have met all previous licensing requirements and have no at-fault accidents or traffic violations.

  • Do I need to take driver’s education in Louisiana?

    Yes, if you’re under 18, you must complete a state-approved driver’s education course, which includes classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training. Adults (18 and older) must complete a shorter pre-licensing course.

  • How do I schedule my road test?

    You can schedule your driving test through a state-approved third-party provider or the OMV.
