Maryland location guide

Maryland permit and road-test locations

Not every MVA service point performs original testing. The learner-permit page directs applicants to full-service MVA offices, and road skills testing is scheduled at participating full-service branches.

Use a full-service MVA office for the permit

The permit transaction includes original document review, vision and the real knowledge exam.

Choose a full-service branch that offers road testing

Use the live scheduler because road-test slots and participating branches can change.

Do not confuse kiosks with original testing

Self-service kiosks handle selected transactions, not the full first-permit and road-test process.

Verify current hours and service alerts

Maryland posts location-specific closures and service alerts that can affect testing availability.

Choose a full-service office for first-time permit testing

Not every MVA service point handles every first-time driver transaction. Use the official locator and appointment system to confirm knowledge and skills testing availability before traveling.

Search by location and service

Use the MVA locator filters to find the branch or service location that matches your transaction.

Use appointment and wait-time tools

Maryland provides online appointment scheduling and a Locations Dashboard with current and average visit-time information for branches.

Some transactions do not require a counter visit

Many MVA branches have self-service kiosks, and more than 60 transactions can be completed online. Check whether your permit or testing step still requires an in-person visit.
