Identification requirements
Applicants must present acceptable documents establishing your identity/birthdate, residency, and provide your Social Security Number (SSN), if eligible. Documents must be original or certified copies. Applicants must not provide photocopies or self-laminated documents.
Age Requirements
Young-driver licensing rules in Ohio:
- At age 15½, teens may obtain a Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card (TIPIC) so they can begin supervised driving.
- To get a probationary driver license, they must be 16+, hold the TIPIC for at least 6 months, complete a driver education course (24 hrs classroom + 8 hrs driving), and log 50 hours of supervised driving (10 at night).
- During the probationary stage (under age 18), restrictions include:
- No driving between midnight and 6 a.m. (or 1 a.m.–5 a.m. after 12 months) unless accompanied by a parent/guardian or for specified reasons.
- Only one non-family passenger under 18 unless a parent/guardian is present.
- No use of mobile devices while driving and all occupants must wear seat-belts.
- A full, unrestricted license becomes available at age 18, provided the teen has completed the provisional period with no serious violations.
Knowledge Test
The test contains questions on traffic laws, road signs and rules of safe driving. All questions are based on the materials found in a driver’s handbook.
