What are the requirements for obtaining a learner's permit in Louisiana?

To obtain a learner's permit in Louisiana, you must be at least 15 years old and enrolled in a driver education course approved by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV). Prior to applying, you should gather necessary documents such as identification, proof of residency, and social security card. Additionally, you need to provide a notarized statement of parental consent or court authorization if under 18. At the OMV, you will need to take a vision test and written knowledge exam. Passing these tests will grant you a learner's permit, which allows you to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed adult. It's important to follow all traffic laws and restrictions associated with the permit until you are eligible for a full driver's license.
