Do you need to keep your permit for 6 months if you are turning 18 in AZ?

In Arizona, if you are turning 18, you are not required to hold your permit for a full six months before obtaining your driver's license. However, you must have held your permit for at least six months if you are under 18 to qualify for a license. Once you turn 18, you can apply for your driver's license without the six-month waiting period.
