With a graduated or operator permit, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and occupies the seat beside you. These permits are valid for 12 months.

Arizona requires anyone under 18yrs to hold their instructional permit for 6 months from the date of issue, or until they turn 18yrs, whichever comes first.  At this time, upon successfully passing the road evaluation or MVD road test, the student may get their driver license.

If your permit expires, you must contact a MVD or Licensed third party MVD to renew your permit before you are able to continue to drive.  A valid permit must be carried at all times.

Permits are typically valid for one year. Permits can be renewed at any MVD or 3rd Party MVD and must be current and present at all times to drive and to receive license once eligible.

The Arizona MVD requires that a teen must be at least 15 years and 6 months to be eligible for a permit.
