How long is a temporary instruction permit valid in Ohio?

A temporary instruction permit in Ohio is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance. This allows new drivers to practice their driving skills under the supervision of a licensed adult. The 12-month validity period is designed to give learners sufficient time to develop their driving abilities before they take the driving test for a full license.

During this time, it is important for learners to practice regularly to build confidence and proficiency behind the wheel. After the 12 months, if the applicant has not taken the driving test, they would need to renew the permit to continue practicing legally. Other options are shorter or longer than the designated period, which do not reflect the regulations established by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
