New Montana Driver’s License

Anyone who wishes to legally operate a motor vehicle on an open road needs a License. This can be necessary because of work, school, family obligations, or a simple desire for freedom.

What are the Requirements for Getting a License?

The state of Montana allows an individual to begin driving at the age of 14 ½. To begin the process the individual must enroll in a driver’s education course. You will then be issued an instruction permit that allows a person to operate a vehicle only under the supervision of a driving instructor. Persons 16 years of age and older may apply for a learners permit without having taken a driver’s education course. After applying for a learners permit a person must pass a written exam as well as a vision test. Then the new driver must:

  • Log 50 hours of driving
  • Always be accompanied by a licensed adult 18+ years of age that is either the parent or guardian of the teen or someone that is authorized by said parent or guardian
  • Always wear a seat belt and assure that all passengers do as well

This license only lasts for one year and must be held for no less than 6 months after which time the new driver can move on to step 2. For this step the new driver and their parent/guardian must fill out a graduated driver’s license form, provide all necessary proofs and tests, and a letter of consent from the applicants parent/guardian if the applicant is under the age of 18. After 6 months or the applicant turns 18 he or she will be eligible for a full privilege license.
