I just learned that I’ll have to pay more to get my permit because I’m 17. What gives? How much does a driving permit cost in NY?

You’re right that you’ll have to pay more because of your age—and it does seem unfair! The total fee to get your driving permit in New York can range from $76.75 to $102.50 if you’re under 18. Where you live in
New York
will also affect the total cost.
The cost for your NY driving permit includes:
  • An application fee
  • The fee for the type of license
  • Any document fees
  • Depending on where you live, a Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) fee of $1 for every six months your license is valid
When you’re determining costs for your permit, don’t forget to factor in car insurance costs. Whether you’re driving the family car or pick up a vehicle of your own,
