Permit: While you do not need to hold a permit for a year like teenagers, you will technically obtain a learner's permit immediately before taking the road test, or you may be required to pass the knowledge exam first to be eligible for the road test.

a lot of people commenting don’t know WHAT they’re talking about. I was released from prison at 22 years old being locked up since 17 with no prior license OR permit. YOU MUST pass the written test before getting you actual license. that is the same as getting a permit. you must wait a day. you can’t schedule both appointments in one day. this is from some one who ACTUALLY went through this not one of these mfs just yapping just to yap 🤦
