I just bought a car; I have a driver's permit, but not a license. I have had the title signed to me and don't know what to do from here in what order. Could somebody perhaps tell me specifically what needs to be done?
Contact your local DMV. They will tell you what you need. You may need to go ahead and get a full license before they will allow the car to be registered in your name.
You can drive but with a licensed driver present inside and there will be other limitations. Like in our state, one may not drive after certain hour at night and for long distances. You need to check with your state regulations, they vary.
Have the title transferred to your name; be prepared to pay the sales tax if your county or state required it. You don't need to have a driver's license (learner's permit or otherwise) to own a vehicle.

You own that piece of metal but for that metal to be legally driven on public road, it needs to follow local DMV rules. First thing is a license plate (registration). In order to get that, you will most likely need proof of insurance (for liability). You may also need some sort of inspection of the car (depending on your local DMV)

Title and registration procedures vary widely from state to state. I can tell you what you need to do here in Montana, but it would probably do you no good at all!
You will have to contact the Department Of Motor Vehicles in YOUR locality to find out what to do now that you have the paperwork for your "new" car. In many states, that office is at the County Courthouse. In some states the local AAA office can handle the transfer for you. Some states require your driver license number to register the car, some don't. Some states require proof of insurance to register the car, some just ask if you have insurance. Some states require the purchase of new license plates when a title is transferred, some leave the original plates on the vehicle forever.
You have to find the rules and regulations where YOU live. There is no other way.
