In getting your Learner’s Instructional Permit, you have just completed the first step to get your Maryland Driver’s License. To ensure that you are fully prepared to take on the responsibility of driving, Maryland has a three step graduated licensing system that includes a learner’s instructional permit, a provisional license, and a driver’s license.  \nThis manual is designed to help you move from your learner’s instructional permit to your provisional license.

If you are 25 years or older, you must practice a minimum of 14 hours.  \n• A certification page that you must bring to the MVA when you come to take your skills test.
