A learner's licence in Tripura is suitable for 6 months when issued. During this time, the person with the pass must:

• Get better at driving with the help of an adult driver.
   
• Take and pass the driving test to get a full driver's licence.

If the learner driver doesn't pass the test within 6 months, they have to do the following:

In rare cases, the Tripura Regional Transport Office (RTO) may let the learner's licence stay suitable for longer. This extension is usually given for reasons such as:

However, the RTO must decide whether to grant an extension. Learners should try to pass the driving test within the first six months so they don't have to apply for a learner's licence again.
