Teen Driving Lessons
As a teenager, driver’s training is one of the first requirements you must satisfy before applying for a driver’s license with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).

Driver’s education will not only prepare you for your driving skills test, but it will also teach you safe driving habits and help you to become a responsible, intelligent driver.

The minimum age requirements to begin each step of the New Jersey MVC GDL program are as follows:

• Student learner’s permit: 16 years old.
• Examination permit: 17 years old.
• Probationary driver’s license: 17 years old.
• Unrestricted driver’s license: 18 years old.

If you’re a new driver younger than 21 years old, you are required to complete the New Jersey MVC GDL program.
