Rhode Island Drivers Permit Requirements
Rhode Island teens between the ages of 16 and 18 are eligible to get a drivers permit. According to Rhode Island drivers ed requirements, you must take an approved drivers ed course that is 33.5 hours in length. Once you successfully complete this course and pass the written exam, you will be given a certificate. After you receive your certificate, you will go to the nearest DMV location and follow these steps:
- Bring your certificate and license/ID/permit application
- Provide a birth document and social security card
A parent/legal guardian/licensed foster parent/adult spouse must be present to sign your Rhode Island drivers instruction permit application. Your drivers permit is valid for 1 year or until you turn 18, whichever comes first. You will not be allowed to take a road test until you have held your permit for 6 months.
How to Earn Your Rhode Island Drivers License
