Can you get a driving permit at 15?

I’m currently 14 years old, but I’m itching to get behind the wheel as soon as possible. I turn 15 in a few months, so I want to get my permit. Can I get a driving permit at age 15?

Getting a
driving permit
at 15 is a rite of passage for many teenagers. The good news is that you can get a driving permit at 15 in 32 states.
However, if you’re 14 years old, you can start your journey even sooner if you live in one of these nine states, which offer driving permits for teens age 14.75 or younger:
  • Alaska
  • Arkansas
  • Idaho
  • Iowa
  • Kansas
  • Michigan
  • Montana
  • North Dakota
  • South Dakota
Requirements for your driving permit at 15 vary by state, so check with your DMV to find out what you need.
