What you are talking about is a learner permit. That's one of the first things in your to do list to get a driver license. In order to apply, you must be 16 or older.
Oh, really? So i have to start from there, huh? I guess i'll be required some preparation, right?
That's right. Because you'll have to prove your driving skills on a road test, you'll have to comply with have supervised driving practice and take a pre-license course or driver education course before you take your road test.
Are you under 18 right now?
Yeah, i'm 17 right now.
Good, That implies that you'll have to wait at least 6 months to schedule your road test, once you hopefully get your learner permit.
And someone that I know wanted me to ask you what they should include in their refund request if they obtained a license in another state?
If they exchanged their NYS driver license for a driver license in another state, they need to attach a photocopy of their out-of-state driver license to form MV-215
oh well, and when I take and pass my test, can I still have my temporary permit?
Sure, In fact, you keep that interim license until your new license arrives by mail in a 2 weeks time.
What is Step 6?
