I’m trying to find a phone number to call directly to ask about the progress of getting my learners permit does anyone know one?

Progress? Both the written and driving portions are pass/fail.

Brittany, when you ready to take you test, drop in and talk to PennDot. They will assist you.

I've never seen one. It's always a 1-800, or something to that nature. What if you called a local notary, they might have the DMV direct number?
