How To Get A New Jersey Drivers License

New Jersey has a graduated driver license (GDL) program with three phases: the early bird, the young adult, and the adult. At age 16, you may apply for a Student Learner’s Permit. At age 17, you may apply for an Examination Permit. To obtain a Student Learner’s Permit (early bird), you will need to appear at your DMV with your driver’s Ed instruction and proof of identification, proof of driver’s Ed enrollment, a signed letter of consent from your parents or guardian(s).
You must pass a written test and a vision test. The test consists of 50 questions and you must pass with an 80 percent or better. The fee is $10. After you’ve completed 6 hours of driving, you may return to validate your permit and schedule a road test. The permit is good for 2 years. While driving with a learner’s permit you must have a 21-year-old licensed driver who’s been licensed for three years in the front seat, you may not drive between 11:01 pm and 5 am, and you cannot use a cell phone while driving.
After 6 months of driving with a learner’s permit, you may apply for an Examination Learner’s Permit (young adult). All the same documents are needed. You must be at least 17 years old. The fee is $10. This permit is also good for 2 years and you must hold this permit for at least 6 months before applying for the next level. With an Examination Learner’s Permit, you have all the same restrictions as with the Student Learner’s Permit. After holding an Examination Learner’s Permit for 6 months, you are eligible for a provisional driver’s license.
All GDL levels of drivers must display a red, reflective decal on the upper left corner of their front and back license plates. Not having the decal makes you susceptible to a $100 fine. Any violation of any restriction is also subject to a $100 fine.
To obtain your provisional license, you must have your examination permit for at least three months. You must also be at least 17 years old and pass a road test. All New Jersey drivers (teens and adults) must hold a provisional license for at least one year before obtaining a full driver’s license.
