Frequently Asked Questions

In Mississippi, if you are enrolled in an approved driver education course, you can get a temporary learner’s permit at the age of 14. Once you reach the age of 15, you are eligible for a regular learner’s permit. After holding the learner's permit for one year, you qualify for an intermediate license. To obtain a regular driver’s license (class R), you must be at least 16 ½ and hold the intermediate license for six months. If you are 17 years old or older, there is no waiting period. You can obtain both the learner's permit and the driver's license on the same day.

You can schedule an appointment online for your DMV written test. Select dates and times based on your preferences and the available options at the various Mississippi driver license locations.

When applying for a driver’s license, you must bring the following documents:
  • A completed application signed by your parent/guardian if you are under 17.
  • Proof of identity (such as the birth certificate) and a legal document if you have changed your name.
  • Proof of Social Security Number.
  • Two proofs of residency (such as an utility bill, bank statements, or student ID card with your photo).
  • A completed School Attendance Form if you are between 15 and 17 years old. For applicants under 18 and married, the form is not required, but they must present a marriage license.
Check the list of acceptable documents to ensure you have all you need.

To prepare for the DMV written test, you can refer to the official Mississippi Driver's Handbook. The manual covers various information about traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. Study carefully the different sections and test your knowledge with our free practice tests!
With a learner’s permit, new drivers must always be accompanied by a licensed driver aged 21 or older, who sits next to them. For the first 6 months after obtaining the license or until reaching the age of 17, drivers cannot operate between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday and between 11:30 pm and 6 am on Friday and Saturday, unless under supervision. For both learner’s permit and intermediate license holders, texting with a cell phone is forbidden.

In Mississippi, a temporary learner’s permit is valid until you have completed the driver education course. Instead, a learner’s permit is valid for two years. This ensures you have enough time to practice driving and fulfill the necessary requirements before the road test.

If you don't pass the DMV written test, you can repeat it the following business day. After three unsuccessful attempts, you need to wait for 30 days before you can retake the exam again.
