After purchasing the permit from an agency, the instructor may schedule a road test at a driver testing center , to be taken on or after the student's 17th birthday. So drive carefully and be sure to always wear your seat belt. The exam permit is different from a student permit because you don't have to be a student and an instructor is not necessary. After you fill out the form with your legal name and present in English proof of age, identity, name change, if applicable, and proof that the U.S. Government authorizes your presence in this country, you can purchase a permit to take to the nearest driver testing center. Basic automobile license applicants must supply their Social Security number, or an exemption from the Social Security Administration.
Most agencies conduct written and vision tests.
MVS will validate the permit for practice driving after you pass the required vision and written tests. A NJ driver with a valid license in the same classification as your learner's permit must accompany you when you practice drive. When the applicant is a minimum of 18 years old and successfully completes the process, MVS will issue the new driver an unrestricted license. A nonresident with a valid license may drive in New Jersey. To purchase the permit, go to any MVS agency , show the required proofs of age , identity, name change if applicable and take the written test and vision screening.
