Applying for a Pennsylvania Drivers Permit

Before taking the first step to apply for a permit, you should study the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual. Packed with all the rules of the road, this handbook will tell you everything you need to know to pass the written licensing test.
Step 1: Applying for a Permit

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• Complete an Noncommercial Learner's Permit Application. You must have your physician complete the back of this form to certify that you are medically cleared to drive.
• If you are under 18, have your parents or legal guardians complete a Parent or Guardian Consent Form. If they cannot accompany you when you apply, this form must be notarized.
• You must apply in person at any Driver License Center location.
• Provide a Social Security card (if it's laminated, it will not be accepted) and one form of identification listed on the back of the application form.
• If you are over 18, you must also provide proof of residency in the state.
  Pay a $5 fee for the permit plus $26 for a four-year photo license. Cash is not accepted, so bring along a check or money order made out to PennDOT.
• Take a written test. If you pass, you will be issued a permit, valid for one year.
