The allowed age to apply for a non-professional driver's license varies depending on the country or state. Specifically for the Philippines, the minimum age to apply for a non-professional driver's license (NPDL) is 17 years old for Filipino citizens. Foreigners may apply at the age of 18 years. This age requirement is set by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and applicants must have held a student permit for at least 30 days before applying for the NPDL.
In the United States, the minimum age varies by state, generally ranging between 16 and 18 years old, depending on the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system in each state. For example, many states allow a learner's permit starting at around 15 or 16 years, but the full regular license tends to be available from 17 to 18 years of age, depending on the stage and state regulations.
