When you get your temporary driving permit in Ohio, you get one year to complete all the training, practice and testing needed for either your probationary or full driver's license. However, failing the driving tests or not having enough time to meet other requirements that vary by age can slow down the process. If you don't finish the requirements before the permit's expiration date, the renewal process involves completing the steps again that you had followed for applying for your original temps.

Ohio issues temporary driving permits to people 15 1/2 or older so that they can legally learn to drive on the roads and prepare for the practical driving tests. The process involves bringing identifying documents to an exam station, taking the written Ohio temps test and passing a vision screening. You can retake the test in 24 hours if you fail.
