Louisiana's learner's permit starts at age 15. A Temporary Instructional Permit, or TIP, can be issued at 14, but it is for instruction with a licensed driving-school instructor. A TIP is not the learner's permit used for supervised practice with family.
Student/Parent Information (opens in a new tab)Obtain a TIP before taking the OMV knowledge test or beginning behind-the-wheel instruction. Complete the approved education course for your age, pass the required vision screening, and earn at least 80% on the knowledge test. Give OMV your course-completion proof and required application documents to convert the TIP.
Student/Parent Information (opens in a new tab)Yes. First-time applicants age 18 or older may take the 14-hour pre-licensing course: six classroom hours plus eight hours of driving instruction. They may instead take the longer 38-hour driver-education course. Turning 18 does not, by itself, remove Louisiana's education requirement.
