Indiana teen learner-permit rules
Indiana lets a teen start a learner permit at 15 when enrolled in approved behind-the-wheel training. The first-license path also requires supervised practice and age/holding-period eligibility.

Starting at age 15 requires driver education
The teen must show a valid Certificate of Driver Education proving enrollment in an approved behind-the-wheel course.
Complete the supervised-driving log
Indiana requires at least 50 supervised hours, including 10 at night, before the driver-license application.
Driver education affects the minimum license age
The current BMV driver-license page states that a driver-education graduate may qualify from age 16, while the no-driver-education route has a later minimum age of 16 years and 270 days. The permit holding requirement also must be satisfied.
