Then you can receive your intermediate restricted license at age 16 or 180 days after receiving your learner’s permit, whichever comes first it will cost $24.50 if you are 16 and $21 if you are 17.



First, you can receive a learner’s permit at age 15, which requires paying a fee of $10.50 if you are under age 18. While you can receive your learner’s permit at age 15, due to Tennessee’s Graduated Driver License (GDL) law, there are many stages and fees before you can receive a regular license at age 18.
