I see practice tests online, so can I also take the actual permit test online as well?

New Driver Checklist

No. The state wants to verify your identity, so you will have to go in and take the written drivers permit test in person to get your drivers license; you cannot take a permit test online. You will also have to do things like show proof of identity, such as a birth certificate, passport, or state ID card; and pass a vision exam, before the DMV will issue a learners permit.

However, you can save time at the DMV by trying out a permit practice test before you even head in. Some DMVs have these for free online, so check out your state’s DMV or motor vehicle online page. Free tests may also be in the driver’s manual.

Alternatively, buy a permit practice test for around $10 or $20 from an online drivers license practice test. These multiple-choice questions are created using the state’s driver handbook, so they have the same content as the real exam. Practicing with a lot of questions will help you ace the learners permit exam. For many people, this is the quickest alternative because most state DMVs don't have free practice tests.
