Cottage Grove Minnesota Online Driver Education and Cottage Grove Minnesota Licensing Procedures

So you've taken your first step towards becoming a new driver in Cottage Grove Minnesota?  Congratulations! 

As you probably already know, driving is a valuable skill, but can also be extremely dangerous.  Therefore, to help new teen drivers develop safe driving habits during their first few years behind the wheel, the State of Cottage Grove Minnesota has implemented a graduated driver license program for Cottage Grove Minnesota drivers who are under the age of 18.

We’ve summarized a few things you’ll need to know as you begin the process of becoming a licensed driver in Cottage Grove Minnesota.

Cottage Grove Minnesota Instruction Permit (aka--Learner's Permit)

You must meet the following requirements before applying for an instruction permit in Cottage Grove Minnesota:

  • Be at least 15 years old
  • Complete 30 hours of state-approved drivers education.
  • Be enrolled in a state-approved drivers education course which includes behind-the-wheel training

When you're ready to get your permit, go down to your local Cottage Grove Minnesota DVS office with the following items:

  • A completed permit application w/ your parent's/guardian's signature
  • Your completion certificate for your drivers education course
  • Money to pay the required processing fee (contact the DVS to find out the exact amount)

At the DVS office, you will be given a vision screening test and then you'll need to pass a written (knowledge) test.  If you pass, you will be issued a Cottage Grove Minnesota Instruction Permit, which is valid for 2 years.

With an instruction permit, you may drive under the following conditions:

  • You must be accompanied by a licensed driver who's at least 21.  This person must be sitting next to you in the front passenger seat, actively supervising your driving
  • Teen-aged drivers may not use a cell phone or any other wireless communication devices while driving
  • All passengers must be wearing seatbelts

Cottage Grove Minnesota Provisional License

To become eligible to apply for a provisional driver's license, you need to meet the following prerequisites:

Be at least 16 years old

Have had your instruction permit for at least 6 months (with no traffic violations)

Your drivers education completion certificate

Completed 30 hours of supervised driving (10 of which must be at night).  Keep a log of your driving practice and have your parents/guardians sign off on it.

When you're ready to get your provisional license, head back down to the local DVS office with your instruction permit and all other paperwork you took with you when you went to get your instruction permit.  You will need cash on hand to pay another processing fee.

If you pass a road test, you will be issued your intermediate license, which is good for 2 years.  With an intermediate license, the following restrictions still apply:

  • No using a cell phone while driving (with or without a hands-free device)
  • Everyone in the car must be buckled up!

After you've held your intermediate license for 12 months and maintained a clean driving record, you may apply for a full license.  However, even with a full license, the following restrictions apply:

1st six (6) months:

  • No driving between 12 midnight and 5am unless you have a licensed driver who's 25 years old or older sitting in the front seat supervising you (exception is if you are driving to or from work, a school-sponsored event which did not offer transportation, or an emergency).
  • Only 1 passenger under the age of 20 is permitted to ride with you

2nd six (6) months:

  • You may only have up to 3 passengers who are under the age of 20 ride with you (unless your parent/guardian is with you).
