Stage 1: Obtain a Learner's Permit
Begin your journey by applying for a learner’s permit. If the student is under seventeen years of age, the student will be issued a learner’s permit. The student will need to bring his/her Certificate of Successful Completion (please note: the white copy(inside sealed enevelope) will go to the OMV, the yellow copy is for your personal records**), email with digital test results, and two forms of identification. The student will hold the permit for a minimum of 180 days and cannot move to the next stage, Intermediate License, until 16 years of age. While driving with a Learner’s Permit, the student must be accompanied by a licensed parent, guardian, adult at the age of 21 or older, or licensed sibling at least age 18 or older. The student must also complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving, 15 of those hours at night.
Stage 2: Intermediate License
The student must be 16 years age and held the learner’s permit for at least six months. The student must take and pass the Road Skills Driving test with Victor Manning Driving School and obtain a sealed envelope containing his/her driving test score. The student will then surrender the sealed envelope and two forms of identification to OMV to be issued an Intermediate License.
While driving with an Intermediate License, the student is prohibited from driving between 11p.m. and 5a.m., unless accompanied by a licensed parent, guardian, adult at least age 21 or older, or licensed sibling at least age 18 or older. The Intermediate License must be maintained until the student is 17 years of age.
Stage 3: Pass the Driving Test
Must have completed stages # 1 and #2 OR
The student must be 17 years of age at the time of application for a full license.
If the student is 17 years of age at the time of the classroom instruction and behind the wheel completion, the student may obtain a full license. The student must take and pass the Road Skills Driving test with Victor Manning Driving School prior to proceeding to the OMV for his/her full license.
After successful completion of 30 hours of in classroom instruction the student will receive an email containing his/her passed digital test results and, following the 8 hours of Behind the Wheel instruction*, the student will receive a Certificate of Successful Completion inside a sealed envelope. ALL envelopes must remain sealed prior to bringing to Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV). There is NO exception to this rule, as it has been mandated by the State of Louisiana.
