Teen Driver Launch: Permit, Supervised Hours, Road Test, and the Insurance Decision
A licensed teen driving legally under the state's intermediate restrictions, a certified supervision log converted into a passed road test, an updated auto policy whose declarations page shows exactly how the new driver is rated, and a signed family driving agreement with the full-license recheck date marked.

Who it's for
Parents or guardians of a 15-to-17-year-old in any US state who are starting or midway through graduated driver licensing — particularly those who want the supervised hours, the road test, and the insurance decision handled in one deliberate pass rather than piecemeal.
About this playbook
A state-by-state procedure for taking a 15-to-17-year-old from first permit application to provisional license without missed appointments, rejected documents, or an insurance surprise. You will pull your own state's graduated licensing numbers directly from its licensing agency, build the application file, run a supervised-practice log that survives contact with real schedules, and walk into the road test with the right papers and a compliant car. The final stretch handles money and boundaries: written confirmation of coverage, the parent-policy-versus-standalone comparison, every discount worth claiming, telematics weighed honestly, and the family driving agreement that outlives the paperwork. It does not cover commercial licensing, drivers already 18 or older, or traffic-school remediation after citations.

Details
What you need first
The teen lives with you and holds no full license yet; you can access their identity and residency documents and sign the parental-consent form; the family has at least one registered, insured vehicle usable for practice and testing; you can use your state licensing agency's online portal or offices.
