What an exciting time in your child’s life! The driving age in
North Dakota
is 14 years old for a learner’s permit, and your child will have to apply in person at a local ND Drivers License office or take the knowledge test online. Make sure they have all the necessary documents—and once they pass their vision and knowledge tests, they’ll be issued a learner’s permit.
The knowledge test is based on North Dakota’s Noncommercial Driver’s License Manual which acts as a study guide and goes over the rules of the road and general driving safety.
A North Dakota learner’s permit allows teenagers to operate a vehicle only if supervised by a licensed driver sitting in the front seat. Your child can get a restricted license at age 15 or a full driver’s license at age 16 if they:
  • Hold their learner’s permit for at least one year
  • Complete a formal *driver’s education** course
  • Practice 50 hours of driving
  • Pass the road test
After your teen gets their driver’s license, you must decide whether to get them their own car insurance or
add them to your current policy
