First permit and knowledge test
MVC Licensing Centers require appointments for a first-time license or permit and for auto knowledge tests. If testing capacity is available, the knowledge test may sometimes be taken at the permit appointment.
Road tests use their own appointment
The road test requires an appointment and can be scheduled online or at a driver testing center after the knowledge and vision requirements and the applicable supervised-practice period are complete.
Probationary license can be walk-in after you pass
After a successful road test, the MVC says you may obtain the probationary driver license at the road-test location if available, or at a Licensing Center with your stamped permit and documents without an appointment.
