Key thing for those of you under 18: get Mom, Dad, or your guardian to sign your application. And there are a ton of things to remember as a young driver. 

A short list:

• You must be at least 16 years old to obtain an Instruction Permit and at least 16 ½ years old for a Provisional License.
• You have to pass the normal vision and written exams for the Instruction Permit, as well as the driving test for the Provisional.
• Bring all of the proper identification. It's a lot harder than you think to get McLovin printed on your license.
• If you're under 18, you have to be in compliance with school attendance. So, if you planned on dropping out of high school to become a taxi driver, you're out of luck.
• If you're under 18, you must provide proof that you completed the 33-hour driver education course, likely given at your school.
