How would I go about getting my learners permit

Go online and make an appointment. I just did the same thing. When you get there..its pretty much in and out.

Make an appointment they wont allow walk ins

I would go online and look at their website. It will give you all the information you need to obtain a learners permit, as well as a manual for their written test and even practice tests too! From there once you have met the criteria you will be able to make an online appointment with the MVA. This link should get you started: https://mva.maryland.gov/Pages/Maryland-Drivers-Manual.aspx
