To get your learner’s permit, you must provide the following documentation to the DMV:
  • Certified Original Birth Certificate
  • Photo ID – This can be in the form of the student’s yearbook, school ID, US Passport, etc.
  • Social Security Card or Number for Verification
  • Proof of Idaho Residency
  • Acceptable Lawful Presence Documents (if applicable)
  • Visual/Medical Certification (if applicable)
  • Driver Training Completion (if applicable)
  • Liability Signer (if under 18 years of age)
  • Verification of Compliance Form (VOC), if under 18 years of age. This is issued by the Idaho school the student is attending (Idaho Code 49-303A). The student’s administrative office will be able to assist with providing this form.

For students under the age of 17, it is required students complete a 6-month supervised instruction period with an adult. During this phase, the student drives a total of 40 daytime hours and 10 nighttime hours. Tip: Download the Parent Supervising Driving Booklet or use a mobile app to track your drive time. After the 6-month supervised instruction period, students will need to take the Written Knowledge Test at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Depending on the student’s location in Idaho, a student might need to schedule to take the written test (check with the local DMV). After passing the Written Knowledge Test, it is time to schedule a Skills Test from a third-party examiner. Find a Skills Test Examiner by visiting Idaho Transportation Department’s webpage. Skills tests are only scheduled during daylight hours and during acceptable weather conditions.
