What is the minimum age to apply for a Class E driver's license in Missouri?

  1. 14 years old
  2. 15 years old
  3. 16 years old
  4. 17 years old

Answer: B — 15 years old

Missouri allows teens to start the licensing process at 15 under a graduated licensing system. At 15 you can apply for the learner’s permit (Class E), which is the first step and comes with restrictions designed to help you gain supervised driving experience. This involves completing driver education and obtaining parental consent, then practicing with a licensed adult before moving on to the next stage of the licensing process. The goal is to build experience gradually, so the minimum age to begin is 15. A 14-year-old isn’t eligible to start, while 16 or 17 are ages for later steps in the process, not the initial minimum.
