Obtaining your Louisiana OMV driver’s permit involves passing a vision screening and a written permit knowledge test. The test includes 40 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, safe driving practices, road signs, driver’s responsibility, and vehicle positioning, as outlined in the state’s Louisiana OMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (32 out of 40 questions). If you fail the knowledge test, you must wait until the next business day and pay a retest fee. Our practice resources make sure you are fully prepared.
The Learner’s Permit is the first phase of Louisiana’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program for minors and can be applied for as early as age 15. Once obtained, you must hold the permit for at least 180 days and complete a state-approved driver’s education course. A licensed adult at least 21 years of age or a sibling at least 18 years of age must supervise your driving. When you turn 16, have held the learner’s permit for at least 180 days, completed the required driver’s education, practiced driving for 50 hours as attested by your parent or guardian, and passed the road test, you can obtain an intermediate license. This license prohibits unsupervised driving between 11 PM and 5 AM and includes passenger limits. Once you turn 17 and have held the intermediate license without any violations for at least 12 months, you can apply for an unrestricted driver’s license.
If you’re already 18 years old, you must still obtain a Learner’s Permit and complete a 38-hour driver’s education course or a six-hour pre-licensing course and an eight-hour behind-the-wheel course. Once complete, you can take the road skills test and immediately apply for a full license.
Our free online Louisiana OMV Permit Practice Test mimics the actual exam conditions, with questions and answers based on the state manual. Updated for November 2025, instant feedback is provided for incorrect responses. Once you’ve prepared, go to the OMV with identification (birth certificate, passport), a Social Security card, and two proofs of residency (utility bills, lease agreement). If under 18, you must bring proof of driver education and a parental consent form (a parent or guardian must be present to sign). With joint custody, the parent with primary legal responsibility must sign. Pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
