Eligibility
Applicants under 18 must complete all Junior Operator License requirements, including completing a Driver's Education Program. If you're over 18, you don't need to complete a Driver’s Education Program.
To schedule a test, you must provide your:
- Name
- Date of birth
- Social Security number
- Learner’s permit number
- Foreign Passport and Consular ID
Fees
You may pay your road test and license fees online before or after you pass the road test, so you don't have to visit an RMV Service Center.
After you pass, your permit will immediately serve as your temporary driver's license until the permanent license arrives in the mail.
The $35 road test fee is not refunded if you:
- Fail the test
- Are unprepared
- Do not have a registered vehicle
- Are late or do not appear
- Cancel or reschedule your test with less than 72 hours notice
You will still be charged for a road test if you:
- Fail
- Are unprepared; for example, your vehicle fails to pass the examiner’s inspection
- Do not bring a qualified sponsor
- Do not appear or are late
- Cancel or reschedule your test with less than 72 hours notice
The RMV will email impacted customers as soon as possible about cancellations. Any tests canceled by the RMV due to weather may be rescheduled free of charge.

Operators are not allowed to sponsor more than three applicants in a 1 year period without approval from the RMV Road Test Program.
Unless your test is scheduled through a driving school, all road test applicants must supply their own vehicle. Vehicles must meet the following requirements:
- Be in good working condition and be able to pass a safety check.
- Have a valid registration and current inspection sticker.
- Contain adequate seating accommodations next to the operator for the use of the examiner and have a rear seat behind the driver for the sponsor.

- Any vehicle that does not allow the examiner unobstructed access to the parking brake CANNOT be used.
You can attempt no more than 6 Class D road tests in a 12-month period.
Applicants who must take a road test as part of their license reinstatement process are required to provide an acceptable vehicle for the road test. Generally, this vehicle must have an accessible console brake and a seat for the sponsor.
Interpreter information
You are encourged to bring your own interpreter if you need one. Your interpreter will ride in the car during the road test. The interpreter will only be allowed to interpret the exact words of the Road Test Examiner. They are not allowed to provide any additional instructions. If you are unable to bring an interpreter, you can ask the RMV to provide an interpreter when scheduling your test.
