How do I get a drivers license in Maine?

If you get a learners permit in Maine at 21 do you have to wait six months to get your drivers license?

• Answer:

  No. Pretty much how it works is after you have sent in the required materials (application, birth certificate, social security card, and check for the $10 fee), you will receive the date for your written test. If you pass, it is then up to you when you go for your license. Hypothetically speaking, you could go the next day, but chances are you'll want to take some time to get familiar with driving. When you feel comfortable behind the wheel, and are relatively sure that you can pass the test, that's when you go for your license. It's all about you and when you feel ready. Just remember that if you don't go for the test before you learner's permit expires, you will have to go through the application process again and submit another examination fee.
