How to Get A Driver's License in New York

To obtain a driver's license in New York, follow these steps below:

1. Learner's Permit Application: Apply for a learner's permit by passing an eye vision test and a written test on traffic rules and regulations.

2. Practice Driving: With your learner's permit, practice driving under supervision. The NYS DMV requires drivers 16 and 17 years old to drive a minimum 50 hours (35 hours daytime and 15 hours nighttime driving) before taking a road test. 

3. Pre-Licensing Course: Complete a New York State-approved pre-licensing course, also known as the 5-hour course.

4. Road Test: Schedule and pass a road test to demonstrate your driving skills. You'll need to bring your own vehicle for this. If you are 16 or 17 years old you must have your permit for a minimum of 6 months before you are eligible for a road test. If you are 18 years of age and older, you can take your road test whenever you want. There are no restrictions on the amount of time you need to have your permit before taking a road test.
