Probationary License: Earning It
A 2-minute lesson from the Wisconsin course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
After you pass the skills test, your first license is a probationary license. If you're under 18, you earn it with time on your permit, driver education and 50 logged hours of supervised practice.
Know the rule
You must be at least 16 years old for a probationary license.
If you are under 18, you must hold your instruction permit for at least six months, be 16, and prove you completed a driver training/driver education program.
You've held your permit for eight months and turn 16 next week. If you've finished driver ed and logged 40 daylight and 10 night hours with a qualified adult, your sponsor can verify them and you can take the road test.
