The BA‑412D is New Jersey’s official Application for a Learner’s Permit. It is required before you can take the written knowledge test and begin behind‑the‑wheel training.
This page provides a direct link to the fillable PDF, step‑by‑step instructions, and tips to ensure a smooth submission.
What Is Form BA‑412D?
Form BA‑412D (Revision 9/20) is issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). The form collects personal information, driving history, and a certification that the applicant meets all eligibility requirements.
Who Must Complete the BA‑412D?
Anyone age 16‑21 who does not already hold a valid driver’s license and wishes to obtain a New Jersey learner’s permit must submit this form. Parents or legal guardians must also sign if the applicant is under 18.
