It depends on the rules in your state. Some states do allow a hardship license for kids who have some type of special need to be able to drive. You will need to check with the DPS in your state to see if that is a possibility, or post a question including the state you live in.

Another View: Re; the above answer - even though there may be hardship provisions codified in the DMV regulations you can NOT obtain a fullly privileged drivers license without first being able to demonstrate that you have mastered the knowledge and the skill level to operate a motor vehicle lawfully and safely.

Maybe in some states, but: As a very wise professor told me my first semester in law school, the answer to every question is "it depends." I suppose that is the case here. Not every state requires you to have a learner's permit if you are obtaining a hardship license. In Texas, you may obtain a license when you are 15 years old if you have a demonstrated hardship without having had a learner's permit (but you must have taken driver's ed). See Tex. Trans. Code Sec. 521.204(b) (The department may not issue a Class A, B, or C driver's license other than a hardshiplicense to an applicant under 18 years of age unless the applicant has held an instruction permit or hardship license for at least six months preceding the date of the application).

How old do you have to be to get a drivers license in Oklahoma?

You can get your permit when you are 15 ½ if you have taken driver's education. You must have your permit for six months and drive for 50 hours (10 of which should be in the dark) before you can get your license. If you have taken driver's education you can get your permit exactly six months before your birthday; this means that you could get your intermediate driver's license at age 16. However, if you don't take driver's education, you could get your permit when you are 16 and an intermediate license when you are 16 ½. This means, if you have taken driver's education, you could get an unrestricted license at 16 ½ and if you have not taken driver's education you could get an unrestricted license at 17 ½. If you are 18 or older, you do not need a permit and can get your license without going through this process.
