How do I apply for an IA drivers license if I am younger than 18? Iowa
Iowa Teens and Driver Training Requirements
Teen drivers can begin driving at 14 with an instruction permit, the first required step toward obtaining an IA driver license.Apply for a Learners Permit
To apply, visit any DOT office with:- A completed Parents' Written Consent to Issue Privilege to Drive or Affidavit to Obtain a Duplicate License (Form 430030). This must either be signed by a parent or guardian in the presence of a DOT agent, or completed at home, prior to arriving, and signed before a notary public.
- A government-issued, certified birth certificate.
- Proof of Iowa residency.
- Proof of your Social Security number.
- Cash or a check to pay $6 learners permit fee.
To prepare for the knowledge test, you'll need to study Iowa's drivers manual, your prime study source. Every question on the test is directly based on information found in the manual. There are no trick questions. You can obtain a manual from any DOT office, or by conveniently downloading from the DOT website.
After studying the manual, you'll next want to take at least one permit practice test. These can be found online and feature multiple-choice questions similar to those on the actual exam, allowing you to accurately gauge strengths and weaknesses.
If you pass both tests you'll be issued a drivers permit, valid for four years.
