Congratulations! 🎉 You’ve passed your learner’s license test, and your application has been officially approved. Now what?

This guide covers everything you need to know to download your learner's license printout quickly and easily, right from the official government portals.
📌 What Is a Learner’s License?
A Learner’s License (LL) is a temporary driving permit issued by the transport authority that allows a person to learn to drive under supervision before obtaining a permanent license. It’s valid for 6 months and is a mandatory step before you can take the driving test for your full license.
