First you have to apply for a learner licence. After six months you can do a driving test, and if you pass you will get a driver licence.
You have to apply to the Motor Vehicle Registry (MVR) for a learner licence. You must learn the road rules and pass a written test to get a learner licence.
After you get your learner licence, you have to practice driving for at least 6 months before you can do a driving test. When you are driving with a learner licence, you can’t drive alone. You must have a driver in the car with you who has a full licence.
If you pass the driving test you will get a provisional licence. This licence has extra rules you must follow.
If you do not pass the driving test, you will not get a licence. You can do the test again at another time.
You can find more information about getting a driver licence at NT.GOV.AU.
