ABC TITLE OF LaPlace - LEARNER'S PERMIT

SEE BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

1) LEARNER’S PERMIT

A minor who is 15 or 16 years of age may only be issued a Class E Learner’s Permit after having obtained a Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) from the OMV and after having completed Driver’s Education and a written examination both offered by Driving Schools. Here is what you need to bring:

  • Birth Certificate
  • A certificate of Successful Completion from the Driver’s Education class attended
  • A custodial parent or legal guardian must sign the application. The parent must present identification and legal guardians also must present legal documentation verifying the guardianship
  • Temporary Instructional Permit

2) REAL ID UPGRADE

Although you will not need to be Real ID-compliant for air travel until May 7, 2025, ABC Title can issue them now. After May 7, 2025, visitors seeking access to military bases and federal facilities must have a driver’s license or identification card that is Real ID compliant. Simply bring one primary form of ID, two secondary forms, and two proofs of residency. For your Real ID Checklist click here and for frequently asked questions regarding the Real ID, click here.

*NOTE: If your primary document (Passport or Birth Certificate) reflects your maiden name, then you must also bring your marriage license.

3) DUPLICATE LEARNER’S PERMIT

Lost your Learner’s Permit? Don’t worry, at ABC Title we can print a duplicate Learner’s Permit in minutes instead of hours. Bring your Certificate of Attendance from school, Birth Certificate, and your parent or legal guardian with their ID. If you are over 18, simply come in and we can look you up.

4) EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION

Did you know that if you ask, you can have an emergency contact added to your Learner’s Permit record? In the event of an accident, police officers and emergency personnel can access emergency contact information using the credential number if you are unable to communicate. In a separate transaction, a contact name, address, relationship and multiple contact numbers can be added. Let ABC Title provide you with this additional level of security and peace of mind.

5) MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENTS

An applicant must possess a valid Louisiana driver’s license or learner’s permit. Applicant must also provide a certificate of successful completion of the Department of Public Safety, Motorcycle Safety, Awareness and Operators Training Program. The certificate must be presented in a sealed (untampered) envelope. The envelope must clearly indicate the name and address of the issuing entity.

The course can be taken at the Louisiana State Police or at a Harley-Davidson New Orleans provided the course completion date was on or after August 14, 2015.

Note: If the applicant is fifteen (15) or sixteen (16) years of age, he is restricted to driving within a distance of three miles from his residence, unless a parent, tutor, or other person having custody is temporarily staying or residing at another location, where the applicant would be restricted to within three miles of that location.

6) BLOOD TYPE INDICATOR

Ask us about adding your blood type to your Driver’s License or Learner’s Permit. This is a way to get some extra peace of mind for you or your minor children who drive and there is no additional fee if you are adding it in conjunction with another Driver’s License transaction. In the event of an emergency, medical providers can act fast. This also compliments the Organ Donor indicator and the emergency contact information.
