Learner's permits must be applied for at the nearest Provincial Office of Motor Vehicles (Ufficio Motorizzazione Civile), which will issue the learner's licence. The foglio rosa is valid for a period of five months, and can be applied for by learners on the day after they reach the minimum age for the licence category. This means that a Patente B cannot be granted on the applicant's eighteenth birthday, for example: it can only be granted the day after.
Requirements may vary from office to office, but in general, the following must be submitted:

Most learner drivers opt to take lessons with a licensed driving school for several reasons: instructors can coach students on questions likely to be encountered on the test; and the practical test must be done on a dual-control vehicle, which can be provided by the school for practice and for the practical exam. Otherwise, the test taker must hire a dual-control car and insurance must be obtained before the practical test can be taken. Hired dual-control vehicles can only be rented for driving tests and cannot be used for practice.

The accompanying driver must have held a valid licence for at least 10 years in the category the driver will be tested for.
The learner's permit allows the holder to practise driving only while accompanied by a person no older than 60 years old (if practising using a dual-control vehicle, the accompanying driver may be no older than 65 years old).
Practice vehicles must be marked on the front and back with a vertically and clearly displayed uppercase black letter "P" (principiante) against a reflective white background, indicating to other drivers that the driver is a novice.
Learner drivers may not drive on the Autostrada and may face a fine of 78 euros if they practice in a busy area.
