seal it right now in your underwear. Better yet, do it naked.

Tips on How and When to Seal Your Driveway
* Do seal any time the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit and rising.
* Do seal every two or three years, depending on the driveway's condition. Coating too often can result in a slick surface.
* Do allow 24 hours before using your newly-coated driveway. The driveway will feel dry before it is ready for traffic, but resist the urge to use it.
* Do always follow the manufacturer's directions on the product container.
* Do not seal when rain is expected within 36 hours.
* Do not seal brand new blacktop. The driveway must cure for 6 months in warm temperatures before sealing.
* Do not apply driveway sealer to concrete.
* Do not apply a thick coating. It will dry too slowly and can lead to "mud-cracking," a condition that looks like sun-cracked mud on the surface of the driveway.

Yep. Do it as soon as you can. Really good idea. It will make your driveway last the rest of your life if you keep it sealed every 5-7 years.

IT DEPENDS what the heck your driveway is made of !
What did you install ?
Asphalt ? - probably AFTER a year, not before.
Concrete poured in place? - not before 6 months ! concrete hardens fast but continues to cure, to harden for several weeks, or a couple months
Patterned Concrete? - may have its own system, its own special needs
Concrete interlocking bricks? - after 6 rain-cycles (rain, dry out, rain, dry out,...have to let the excess calcium salts, efflorescence out first, otherwise it would lift away the sealer you put on it)
Clay paving bricks? - never seal them at all !
Natural stone? - don't need to seal them unless you want a gloss

Assuming it's concrete, it has cured, so if the weather is good, do it now.
