The learner's license is the beginning drivers' license issued to a person at least 14 years of age and will expire on the licensee's 16th birth date. The three levels of licensing are learners (must be at least 14 years of age), intermediate (must be at least 16 years of age) and regular licenses (must be at least 18 years of age). Drivers are required to adhere to the restrictions at each level before they can move on to the next level. The law mandates a progressive driver's licensing program for young drivers. A primary document must contain the full name and date of birth and must be verifiable, i.e., you must be able to contact the issuing agency to determine authenticity of the document.Īny person between the ages of 14 and 18 who has not been issued an Arkansas Driver's License will be issued a drivers license under the Arkansas Graduated Licensing Law (Act 1694 of 2001).
