You have to be 14 to get your permit and 16 to get your DL.

When you are 14, you can take your written test, and if you pass, you will receive what is called a Learner's Permit. This will allow you to drive with licensed driver age 21 or over. After you have had that permit for at least 3 months, you can take your road test. This is where you drive with an evaluator in the car with you. If you pass this, you will receive what is called a Learner's license. This basically allows you all of the same privelleges as the permit, but when you turn 16, all you have to do is take it to your local revenue office, and exchange it for your regular license. A law was just recently passed saying that anyone 16 and 17 years old can have only one passenger under 18 in the car with them unless there is a licensed driver over 21 present. When you turn 18, you will have a standard license that allows you to drive with anyone of any age in the car with you.
