To be able to drive a car or motorcycle, everyone in the U.S. is required to have a driver's license.
In the United States, driver's licenses are issued by each individual state, territory, and the District of Columbia rather than by the

Generally, a minimum age of 15 is required to apply for a non-commercial driver license, and 25 for commercial licenses.
