In my state you have to wait six months after you get your permit before you can take your road test. In those six months you have to take the 5 hour and have at least 50 hours of driving with your permit. Of course back when I got my license you could get it a day after you got your permit if you wanted to.
Here it's six months between each stage. Equaling out to be a year at the most if you're under 21. At 21 It's like 30 days then boom, license.
I still don't have mine because the only time I had the chance my father decided 'hey, lets move again for no good reason' and guess what he left behind at my uncles? My birth certificate..
I just got it replaced recently so I plan on getting my permit asap
