Driver's License Types

If you are under the age of 21 when you obtain your Indiana driver's license, your license is considered probationary. To obtain a probationary driver's license, you must meet Indiana’s age requirements below and have held a learner's permit for 180 days (approximately six months).
You may also need a co-signer for financial liability and a log of supervised driving if you are under the age of 18 years old. Open the accordion below for more information on this.

If you have successfully completed an approved driver education program you must be at least 16 years and 90 days old to obtain a driver's license.
If you have not successfully completed an approved driver education program you must be at least 16 years and 270 days old to obtain a driver's license.
A probationary driver’s license cannot be renewed until after your 21st birthday. You will have 30 days after your 21st birthday to renew your driver’s license before you will be required to pay a delinquent fee.

The practice time must be maintained in a Log of Supervised Driving and presented to the BMV at the time of application for a driver’s license. If you have a restriction G on your learner’s permit, you do not need to complete the 10 hours of nighttime driving; however, you must still complete the 50 hours total.
- Financial Liability for Injury or Damage
Applicants for a learner’s permit or driver’s license who are less than 18 years of age must have one of the following adults sign a sworn or affirmed statement of financial liability in person at a license branch. The lawful (IC 9-24-9-3) order of preference is:

The adult who co-signs for financial liability must present a valid form of identification, including a U.S. government-issued photo identification card that displays a United States address.
