Temporary Instruction Permit (TIP)

Do you have your Temporary Instruction Permit?

The following information is from the State of Michigan website. It contains all the information about obtaining a Temporary Instruction Permit which will allow adult students to practice driving. Go to www.michigan.gov for complete information on obtaining a valid Michigan driver’s license or visit a Michigan Secretary of State office.

Temporary Instruction Permits
A Temporary Instruction Permit (TIP) allows students to practice driving with a licensed adult for up to 180 days. A TIP is issued if you are age 18 or older and:
• Have never been licensed
• Hold an expired foreign driver’s license
• Hold a Michigan driver’s license or a license from another state that is expired for more than four years

Before obtaining a TIP, students must provide documentation of a valid Social Security number, U.S. Citizenship or legal presence, identity, and Michigan residency. Students must also pass a vision and written knowledge test. In certain cases, a road sign test may be required.

Students must practice driving with a licensed adult for at least 30 days before they are eligible to take the driving skills test with a third-party testing organization. Driving lessons may be scheduled with E-Z Way instructors once students have obtained the TIP.
