Can I get my license right away?

Question

Okay, so I live in upstate NY and unfortunately, I have procrastinated (mixed with also being broke and being busy and then moving from Indiana back to NY with a permit that is now long expired and of 0 use, but when I did have the time and/or money, I kept forgetting) on getting my license. I don't even have my permit yet. Now, because I did do drivers ed in Indiana, complete it, and get a certificate when I was 16, and I'm now older than 18 (I know, I'm mad slow and late and ****, cut me some slack), can I just get my permit from the DMV and then immediately get my actual license since I'm older than 18 by taking the road test? Or do I have to wait a week or something? I know it's 6 months to switch to a juniors license if you're under 18 and you have a permit, but I'm older than 18, so I need to know if it's a shorter time (hopefully and hopefully much shorter). Thanks.

If you are age 16 or over, you can apply for a NYS driver license. The first step is to apply for a learner permit at a DMV office.  Save time by completing and printing the Application for Permit, Driver License or Non-Driver ID Card (MV-44) before you go to the DMV and be sure to bring acceptable proof of your identity and age.

Once you have a learner permit, you must have supervised driving practice and take a pre-licensing course or a driver education course before you take your road test. You'll find these links useful:
