Pass the knowledge test, bring original supporting documents and parent/guardian approval, then complete the vision screening and photo at an MVD office.
Standard supervised-practice route
The standard route requires at least 30 hours of supervised driving, including at least 10 at night, before the road test. Arizona also lists a reduced-hour option for certain approved courses.
Approved driver education can change the road-test path
Arizona's teen guide says completion of an eligible high-school or private driver-education program can waive the road test when the required proof is provided within the state's stated time window.
