31 Miss. Code. R. 1-2.18
Any person at least fourteen (14) years of age may obtain a learner's permit if they are enrolled in a certified driver education program. The permit can only be used as an instructional permit for operating the driver education car only. When the applicant reaches the age of fifteen (15), they need to report to the nearest driver license office to purchase a new learner's permit and be placed in the computer for the six (6) month time requirement to begin. All fifteen (15) or sixteen (16) year olds that receive a learner's permit must hold that permit at least six (6) months. After the six (6) months waiting period, they can go to the nearest driver license office and complete the road test requirement to receive an intermediate driver license. The intermediate driver license requirement is that the applicant can legally drive between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. without a licensed driver in the vehicle with them. After 10:00 p.m. and until 6:00 a.m., they can drive only if a licensed driver at least twenty-one (21) years of age is in the front seat with them. The intermediate driver license shall be held for a period of six (6) months or until the applicant reaches their seventeenth (17th) birthday or whichever occurs first. After the applicant has held the intermediate driver license the required amount of time, or reaches the age of seventeen (17), then the applicant will receive an unrestricted license. All applicants under the age eighteen (18) must have a valid school attendance form in order to obtain an original driver license or to renew a driver license.
