Vision test: Required at application; corrective lenses are noted on the license as Restriction Code B if needed.

Getting licensed in Arkansas
Learner's License (Stage 1): For ages 14–15. Requires passing the written knowledge and vision tests. The holder may operate a motor vehicle only when accompanied by a licensed driver age 21 or older. Eligibility to advance to an intermediate license is contingent on no serious traffic violations or at-fault accidents during the previous 6 months. (On the license this is reflected by Restriction Code 3 — "with licensed adult 21+.")
Intermediate License (Stage 2): For ages 16–17; authorizes operation of a non-commercial motor vehicle. GDL restrictions on intermediate drivers (from the GDL statute):
Nighttime: no driving between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed driver 21+, or traveling to/from school activity, church activity, or a job, or in an emergency.
Passengers: no more than one unrelated minor passenger (an "unrelated minor passenger" is someone under 21 who is not a sibling, step-sibling, or a child living in the driver's household) unless a licensed driver 21+ is in the front passenger seat.
