Michigan fees
Michigan first driver license fees
Michigan publishes standard license fees on its License and ID pages. Driver testing businesses set their own skills-test prices, so the road-test cost is not a single statewide amount.

First standard license
Michigan lists the first-time standard driver's license at $25. The under-18 New Drivers page also states that a $25 licensing fee is due for the Level 1 License.
Optional online adult knowledge test
Eligible adults using Michigan's online knowledge-test option pay $6.50, including the convenience and card-processing fee stated by SOS.
Skills-test fees vary
Approved independent driver testing businesses set their own fees. Michigan SOS recommends asking about initial, retest, no-show and refund policies before booking.
