It’s essential to check with your local licensing authority for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Here are the general steps to obtain an AZ license:

1. Meet Age Requirements: You typically must be at least 18 or 21 years old, depending on your local regulations.
2. Hold a G (or G1/G2) License: In many regions, you need to have a regular or full G-class driver’s license before applying for an AZ license.

The medical examiner will complete a medical report that you must submit as part of the application process.
