Many states require teens to be at least 16 when they get an intermediate license, but it can differ widely between states. For example, in South Dakota, teens can receive a driving license at 14 years and three months, but New Jersey's minimum age is 17. Check with your state's BMV or DMV for its intermediate license requirements. And remember, many state requirements also include driver's ed, testing, and/or a minimum number of driving hours logged before an intermediate license can be issued.
