The provisional license is similar to the temporary, they basically changed the name, they still need to comply with MTRAC and ID verification and all the other rules and regulations that are required for the annual license. It’s my understanding that this temporary vs provisional nonsense is because when the law was written, no one thought it would take the state so long to issue an annual license, but here we are. If you qualify for a provisional, there’s a good chance you’ll get an annual, but, according to the state, that’s not a guarantee.
