Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP)
All students enrolled in a driver’s education or pre-licensing course must present a TIP and keep it in possession throughout in-car instruction and during the road test. You need to make an appointment at the real OMV. You may contact the Office of Motor Vehicles at (225) 925-6146.
All applicants must apply to the Office of Motor Vehicles for a class “E” Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) prior to participation in the knowledge test, operation of a motor vehicle during on-road driving skills instruction, or participation in the on-road driving skills test. The TIP may be issued to any individual who is at least 14 years of age. The TIP allows a driver’s education student to operate a motor vehicle when accompanied by a driver’s education instructor and when completing behind-the-wheel instruction or during the administration of a skills test. Applicants shall meet all other Office of Motor Vehicles identification requirements. This requirement does not apply to applicants enrolled in a National Guard Youth Challenge Program. Any student enrolled in a driver’s education class, driver training program, or pre-licensing training course prior to 09/04/2018 is exempt from this requirement.
