Applying for your learner’s permit has never been easier. You can now complete your application and take the required test from the comfort of your home using a PC or tablet, before finalizing your application at the DMV. This online option streamlines the initial steps, saving you time and making the process more convenient.
Test Duration
Allocate approximately 30 to 40 minutes to complete the online learner’s permit test. Ensure you have this time available to avoid interruptions and fully concentrate on the test questions.
Requirements for Applicants Under 18
If you are under the age of 18, specific conditions apply to your online test:
- A parent or legal guardian must grant permission for the DMV to capture photographs during the online test session.
- Parental or guardian supervision is mandatory throughout the entire test.
- Your parent or guardian must accompany you to a DMV office to finalize your application. They will also need to sign the Online Permit Test Parent/Guardian Certification (PDF) (MV-263) in the presence of a DMV representative.
Webcam Requirement
A functioning webcam is essential for taking the Online Learning Licence Test. You must enable your webcam and grant the DMV access to it. Without a webcam or enabled access, you will not be able to proceed with the online test.
Throughout the test, multiple images will be captured via your webcam to verify your identity and ensure test integrity. It is crucial to be in a well-lit and private area where you are clearly visible. If the DMV cannot clearly identify you in the images, or if other individuals are present in the frame, you may be required to retake the test in person at a DMV office.
Required Identification Documents
As part of the online application process, you will need to provide scanned images or photos of your identification documents. Remember to bring the original documents with you when you visit your local DMV office to have your photo taken and pay the permit fee.
Refer to these guides to prepare your necessary documents based on the type of permit you are applying for:
- Guide for Enhanced or REAL ID Permit
- Guide for Standard Permit
By fulfilling these requirements, you can successfully complete your online learner’s permit test and move closer to obtaining your driving privileges.
