Before your Arizona road test

Our online scheduling makes it easy to find a time that works for you, so you can take the next step toward passing your Arizona road test and getting your Arizona driver’s license.

Teen drivers must hold an instruction permit for at least six months, or until they turn 18, before taking the Arizona driving test. A parent or legal guardian has to approve a teen’s license application, just as they did for the permit.

What the road test is for

The purpose of a road test is to assess that you have the skills required to operate a vehicle and to determine your ability to drive in a manner consistent with the safety laws set forth by the State of Arizona. We will be ensuring you:

  • Have the ability to operate a motor vehicle safely
  • Have formed proper habits essential to safe driving
  • Are able to demonstrate your knowledge of traffic laws on the road

Your test vehicle

The vehicle must be in good operating condition: working brakes, brake lights, turn signals and horn, a windshield with no cracks, inside and outside rearview mirrors, good tires, working driver and passenger windows and doors, and seat belts on 1972 and newer models. Driver assistance features such as auto-drive and parking assist are not allowed during the test. For the documents you need, see licenses and permits.

How much practice does a teen need before the road test?

How can I pass my driver’s test?

Get plenty of practice on the road under the supervision of a licensed driver before the test, and study the Arizona Driver License Manual thoroughly. On the day, follow the examiner’s instructions, obey all speed limits and traffic signs, signal before turning and keep control of your vehicle. Most important of all, stay calm and focused.

From our Google reviews

“We came in from out of state needing to register two vehicles and get driver licenses. When we walked in on a Thursday afternoon, there was no line. We got seen immediately by Jeff who was awesome! Friendly, and helped quickly. It still took time to enter the data into the Arizona system, but this was the most stress free experience I've had across 7 states. I know they charge convenience fees on top of the normal MVD fees, but in my opinion this is TOTALLY worth it. We will visit again, and thanks Jeff!!!”
