Idaho ITD Drivers Permit Rules

Under Idaho guidelines, you must wait until your 15th birthday before you can apply for an Idaho Supervised Instruction Drivers Permit.

All applicants are required pass an approved driver training program in order to obtain the permit. You then must hold the learners permit for 6 months from the issue date and log 50 hours (10 at night) of driving time prior to applying for a driver license.

Prepare for the Written Exam

Idaho requires that all applicants must pass an approved driver training program covering traffic signs, motor vehicle laws and safe driving techniques.

Once you have successfully met the requirements of the Graduated Driver License program, and are at least 15 years of age, you will be required to take and pass the skills test and the knowledge test before receiving a driver's license. The skills test and the knowledge test may NOT be taken sooner than six (6) months from the date you complete the driver's training course or age 17, whichever comes first. If you fail the written and/or the skills test, you must wait three days before retesting for each failure.

All new drivers are encouraged to study for this written test so you don't take a chance on standing in line at the ITD Office only to go home empty-handed.
