The first step in obtaining a Learner's Permit begins with completing the Medical/Application Form, which must be filled out and submitted by the applicant. The medical section of the form must be signed and stamped by a licensed local physician. This form is valid for one (1) year from the date of the signed exam. Applicants under the age of 18 must also submit a parent/guardian consent form, which must be notarized.

After submitting the medical/application form, applicants are required to take the Knowledge Skills Exam. The exam is administered by appointment only, and the applicable fee must be paid in advance. Applicants must present their completed medical/application form before taking the test. The written test will be administered in a private room with only the applicant and the BMV employee present. A passing grade of 75% or higher is required to proceed to the next step. To help prepare for the written test, applicants have the option to purchase the Driver's Manual, which contains essential information to help with studying. Additionally, a practice exam is available online, which can be used to further prepare for the test. If the applicant has difficulty reading or writing, oral exams may be provided at the discretion of the instructor. The oral exam option ensures that all applicants have a fair opportunity to complete the written test successfully.
