Frequently Asked Questions
New Jersey residents who have never had a class D driver license must follow the age requirements of the Graduated Driver License (GDL) program. There are three options:
- If you are 16 and enrolled in an approved behind-the-wheel driver training course, you can apply for a special learner permit. When you reach 17, you are ready to apply for a probationary license after practicing for at least six months. After one year of unsupervised driving, you can get a basic driver license at 18.
- If you are not enrolled in a driver course, you can obtain an examination permit at least at 17 years old. After six months of supervising driving, you can get a probationary license. After one year of unsupervised driving, you can get a basic driver license at 18.
- If you are 21 years old, after obtaining the permit and three months of supervising driving, you can get a probationary license. After one year of unsupervised driving, you can get a basic driver license.
If you are enrolled in a driver education class, you can schedule your DMV written test at the driving school. Alternatively, you can purchase an examination permit at a New Jersey driver testing center and then make an appointment for the knowledge test.

The DMV written tests in New Jersey are available in multiple languages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, Spanish, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Hindi, Albanian, and Turkish. Additionally, oral tests are offered in both English and Spanish. If the test is not provided in your native language, or if you are deaf or hard of hearing, you may request an interpreter approved by the Motor Vehicle Commission at least two weeks before taking the exam. Interpreter's fees will be paid by the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
The DMV written test covers road rules, safe driving practices, and road signs. Studying the official New Jersey Driver’s Handbook is the first step to pass the exam because it contains all of this information. Once you've read it, you can take our free practice tests to test your preparation!
