What are the requirements for getting a driver's license in Alabama?

Asked 6 months ago
To obtain a driver's license in Alabama, there are certain requirements you must meet. Firstly, you must be at least 16 years old to get a learner's (restricted) license, which requires completion of a state-approved driver education course or a supervised driving period. For a full driver's license, you must be at least 16 and a half years old and possess a learner's permit for six months. Additionally, you need to pass a vision test, a written knowledge exam, and a road skills test. You must also present documents verifying your identity, legal presence, Social Security number, and residency in Alabama. Non-US citizens need to show proof of lawful presence. Lastly, there are fees associated with each license type, which can be paid at the time of application.
