Frequently Asked Questions

The age requirements depend on the type of permit or license you are applying for:
  • If you are at least 15 years and 6 months old, you can obtain a graduated instruction permit.
  • If you are at least 16 but less than 18, you can be issued a graduated driver license (Class G).
  • At the age of 18, you become eligible for a Class D driver's license.
Individuals under 18 can opt for the Permit Test @ Home Program. With this option, you can take the DMV written test online under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. After passing the test, schedule an appointment at an Arizona MVD office to obtain your permit. If you are 18 years old or older, you can take the exam at a driver license office or at an authorized third-party provider.


To take the DMV test in Arizona, you must bring to an MVD office:
  • A completed application
  • One primary document (U.S. passport, certified copy of a birth certificate…)
  • Two proofs of residency (documents with your name and address from a business, organization, or government agency)
  • Proof of your Social Security Number

If your name is different, show legal proof of the name change.


The DMV written test for the driver's license in Arizona is available in several languages, including: English, German, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Italian, French, Tagalog, Korean. A verbal test is offered if you have difficulty reading, made many mistakes on a previous test, or the exam isn’t available in your language. To schedule a verbal test, check the nearest MVD office and make an appointment.

To get ready for the Arizona DMV written test, start by reading the Arizona Driver's Manual. This manual has all the info you need to study for the exam: traffic signs, road rules, and safe driving practices. Then, check what you've learned with our free practice tests and consider signing up for DMV Premium to access additional resources!

The Arizona DMV written test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions and is based on the information provided in the manual. Remember, you have 30 minutes to complete the exam. Taking numerous practice tests and thoroughly studying the handbook will increase your chances of success.

To pass the exam, you need a score of 80% or higher. You should get at least 24 questions right, and you're allowed to miss up to 6 questions out of the total 30. Stay focused and take the time to read the questions carefully.

For the initial 6 months, drivers holding a graduated driver license in Arizona face specific restrictions: 
  • They cannot drive between midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent or guardian with a valid license. Driving alone is permitted when traveling to or from sanctioned school activities, places of employment, religious events, or during a family emergency.
  • They cannot transport more than one passenger under 18, except for siblings or when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian in the front passenger seat.
The Arizona instruction permit is valid for a duration of 12 months. Use this time to complete an Arizona MVD-approved driver education program, and after holding the permit for a minimum of 6 months, you can apply for a graduated license.

If you fail the DMV written test on your first attempt, you can return to an MVD office or an MVD Authorized Third Party office the next business day to retake the test. If you fail the exam three times, you have to pay another application fee to take it again.
