When does a provisional license expire for someone under 18?

A provisional license for individuals under 18 is designed to allow young drivers to gain experience on the road while still under certain restrictions. This type of license typically expires on the next birthday after it is issued. This means that if a person receives their provisional license at 16, it will remain valid until they turn 17, encouraging young drivers to gain valuable driving experience before transitioning to a full, unrestricted license.

This expiration policy ensures that provisional license holders have the opportunity to practice driving under supervised conditions for a defined period, after which they must either renew or upgrade their license based on the regulations in their state. The focus is on gradually granting more driving privileges as the individual matures and proves their driving competence.
