What to Expect During Your Online Permit Test
Plan for approximately 30 to 40 minutes to complete the online permit test. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a working webcam before you begin.
Requirements for the Online Permit Test
To successfully take your permit test online, you will need the following:
- Enabled Webcam: A functioning webcam is mandatory. You must grant the DMV access to your webcam. This is essential for identity verification and to ensure test integrity. Throughout the test, multiple images will be captured. Please make sure you are in a well-lit area where you are clearly visible and alone in the frame to avoid any issues that might require you to retake the test in person.
- Identification Documents: You will need to scan or take photos of your identification documents. Remember to bring the original documents with you when you visit the DMV to have your photo taken and pay the permit fee. Refer to these guides to prepare your documents:
- Guide for Enhanced or REAL ID Permit
- Guide for Standard Permit
Special Note for Applicants Under 18
If you are under 18, your parent or guardian plays a crucial role. They must:
- Provide DMV permission for photographs to be taken during the online test session.
- Supervise you while you are taking the test.
- Accompany you to a DMV office to complete the process and sign the Online Permit Test Parent/Guardian Certification (PDF) (MV-263) in the presence of a DMV representative.
Taking your permit test online is a straightforward and efficient way to kickstart your journey to getting a driver’s license. Prepare your documents, ensure your webcam is ready, and you’ll be one step closer to hitting the road!
