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 15 ½ years old to obtain an Instruction Permit (15 if you're enrolled in an approved driver education class) and at least 16 years old for an Intermediate Driver License.
• You have to pass the normal vision and written exams for the Instruction Permit, as well as the driving test for the Basic License.
• 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.
• You must provide proof that you completed an approved driver training course, likely given at your school or a state-approved school.
