Drivers Permits in New Hampshire
Unlike most other states New Hampshire does not require a learner's permit for teen drivers.

You can apply for a license once you hit 16, provided you have completed a driver education course.
DMV.org has outlined the process to apply for a driver's license in our Teen Drivers section. Also check out our practice tests to help you along the way.
The New Hampshire Youth Driver's License
If you're a driver under the age of 18, you're considered a youth driver and your license comes with a few restrictions.
- You can only drive with one passenger who is under 25, unless a licensed driver over 25 years old accompanies you.
- You can only drive between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m.
- Every passenger must have a seat belt; no more seat belts left, no more passengers.
