Pennsylvania's teenagers, age 16 or older, must obtain driving privileges in stages. First, you'll need to have your doctor sign off on a DL 180 form (use DL 180 TD if you're under 18) stating that you're healthy enough to drive. Next, study the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual, then pass a written test and eye screening to earn your learner's permit.
To schedule a written test through the online appointment setter, visit PennDot's Teen Driver's Info Center and select "Schedule Your Driver's Test."
During the first six months after obtaining your permit, practice driving with a licensed driver, 21 years of age or older a minimum of 50 hours. You cannot drive during the hours of 11 p.m.-5 a.m. This learner's license is valid for up to one year, and may be renewed if you need more practice time.
Once you've completed the 50 hours driving time and six months have passed, you can apply for your Junior License. At this stage, you'll need to pass a road test, but all restrictions remain the same.

You can keep your Junior License until you are 18, then be issued a full, unrestricted license. If you keep a clean driving record with no accidents or citations, and successfully complete a driver's education course, you can apply for an unrestricted license 12 months after obtaining your Junior License.
If you are under 18 and use a Learner's Permit, Junior License, or even an Unrestricted License, and accumulate six or more points on your driving record or are ticketed only once for driving 26 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit, your license will be automatically suspended for 90 days.
If you lose your learner's permit or Junior License, you can apply for a replacement using form DL-31, Application for Replacement. The replacement license will be valid for the time remaining on your original.
You can apply for an extension to your learner's permit if it expires, or you need more time to practice. You can also apply for an extension if you fail the road test, up to three times. Extensions are valid for up to one year.
To apply for an extension, fill out the Learner's Permit Application and take it along with the $5 to any Driver License Center and an extension will be issued right then. If you are unable to go to a Drivers License Center, you may send the application and the fee in to:
