Under 21: complete six months and 50/10 hours

Bring the signed BA-CSD Certification of Supervised Driving at licensure/road-test stage as directed by MVC.

Over 21: three-month supervised period

The 50/10 certification law applies to qualifying under-21 permits, not applicants age 21+ at permit issuance.

Bring a qualifying vehicle and required documents

MVC's first-license flow states a 14-day retest wait after a failed road test.
