Obtaining an instruction permit is generally the first step that a beginning driver takes toward becoming a fully licensed driver in Wisconsin. You are eligible to apply for an instruction permit if you are at least 15 year and 6 months old and:

• you have never been licensed to operate a vehicle, or
• you are a new resident of Wisconsin who has been licensed in another state, but your driver's license has been expired for longer than six months.

HOW TO OBTAIN AN ORIGINAL INSTRUCTION PERMIT

1. Download a copy of the Wisconsin Driver's Manual, or get a hard copy by visiting a local DMV Service Center. This is also given to students the first night of class.
2. If you are under 18 years of age you must:
   • Obtain signature of your parent, guardian or other adult sponsor on the application.
   • Be enrolled in a school, high school equivalency program or graduated from a high school.
   • Be enrolled in an approved driver education program and your instructor must sign the application. Your driving lessons must start within 60 days of issuance of permit.
   • Provide an original certified birth certificate.
3. Visit your local DMV Service Center to submit the application. You must bring with you:
4. The completed application form ( MV3001) signed by Drivers2B
5. Proof of identity, age and name, legal presence and Wisconsin residency, as specified by the DMV. Proof of residency is not required for applicants under 18. If you have changed your name, you must bring documents that support and clearly indicate your current name.
6. Your Social Security card.
7. Cash or check for the $35 permit fee.
8. If you did not successfully pass your written knowledge test in class, you will be given a written knowledge test and an eye screening at the Driver License Center. If you pass these tests, you will be issued an instruction permit, which is valid for one year. An instruction permit may be renewed for an additional one year at a cost of $35.
