Graduated Driver License (opens in a new tab)For a Stage I permit, study the Alabama Driver Manual and pass the written examination. Prepare the documents on ALEA's application checklist before visiting: the checklist differs for age 15 and age 16 or older, and first-time applicants under 19 need school-enrollment or graduation evidence.
Graduated Driver License (opens in a new tab)On Alabama's graduated-licensing path, applicants under 18 must hold the Stage I permit for at least six months before Stage II. They must verify at least 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice or submit completion of a State Department of Education-approved driver education course.
