Next step

Knowledge exam: walk in

Every DDS Customer Service Center offers walk-in knowledge testing; start no later than 30 minutes before closing for non-commercial testing.

Road skills: schedule online

Automobile road tests require a reservation through DDS Online Services.

Submit the online License/ID/Permit form before your credential visit

The form remains on file for 60 days and helps prepare the transaction before you arrive.

Check road-test vehicle requirements before the appointment

Registration, insurance and a safety inspection are required, with special rules for rentals and temporary tags.

Permit and knowledge-test visits

For a Class CP permit, complete the License/ID/Permit Form before visiting a DDS Customer Service Center. DDS currently states that appointments are required for road tests rather than ordinary in-person services.

Check documents before you travel

An appointment or online form does not replace the document, eligibility or vehicle requirements. Review the checklist for your permit or license type before going to the Customer Service Center.
