The state has set up three paths to take to get your license; your age determines which path you'll need to follow. But, you must be at least 16 years old to start the journey.
Graduated Driver’s License Program
Like almost all states, New Jersey employs a graduated driver licensing program for new drivers to ease them into the responsibilities of driving. The idea behind the program is to ensure that novice drivers gain plenty of experience at each level before moving on to more difficult and dangerous driving situations. This program applies to anyone who has never held a license, regardless of age.
