Do I need a VA drivers permit before applying for a Virginia drivers license? Virginia

New Driver Checklist
Yes, in most cases. If you're a currently licensed driver who just moved to Virginia, you won't need to go through the learners permit process.

However, in most other situations, you will.

The length of time you must hold your driving permit before receiving your drivers license varies, though. Drivers who are 18 years old or younger must wait at least nine months; those older than this only need to wait three months.

Practice Permit Test

Still need to get your drivers permit? Why not take a practice permit test before attempting to conquer the two-part knowledge test that you must pass to get your license? These tests are available through numerous sources online, and can help solidify the information in your mind so you can recall it more readily on test day.
