Florida Approved
Permit Test Online

Our online Florida Permit Test is the official Florida DHSMV Learner's Permit Test.

Highway Traffic School is one of the approved Third-Party Administrators. We are listed on the official Florida DHSMV website for the State of Florida.

If you are under 18, Florida requires you to get a Learner's License. You must have your Learner's License for one year or until age 18 before you can get your unrestricted driver's license. Also, you cannot get any tickets while having your Learner's License.

Check out our Florida License Guide for more detailed information.

Yes, if you have already taken the TLSAE (Drug & Alcohol) course somewhere else, you can choose to register for only the Class E Written Knowledge Exam (also known as the DMV Written Test for your permit).

However, the TLSAE course and the Class E Knowledge Exam are required to get your Learner's License.

If either of the following applies to you, you must take the Permit Exam in person at a local DHSMV office. You will not be able to register or start a test if you:

• Are 18 years old or older. In this case, you do not qualify to take the Florida permit exam online. Only drivers who are under the age of 18 may take the written exam online per Florida law.
• Have taken the exam three times online and have not been able to pass successfully. After the third attempt, you must take the written test in person at a local DHSMV office.
• Have already passed the exam online. Even if your exam has expired and you need to retake it, you cannot do it online.

Yes, you need to study the Florida driver's handbook. To pass the official Florida written exam, you must read and understand the Florida Driver's License Handbook. All of the answers to the test questions are in that publication. The Drug & Alcohol Course (TLSAE) does not cover all the information you need to pass the written test.

We will provide a link to the newest Florida Driver's Handbook and 50 FREE practice questions to help you prepare for the exam. Other study materials, like more practice questions and road signs flashcards, are available for a small upgrade fee.

You can take our official DHSMV written test as long as you are 14. Note: Although you may be able to take the written test in preparation to apply for your Learner's Permit as young as 14, you will not be able to apply for a Learner's Permit until you are 15.

If you are 18 or older and have never obtained a driver's license, you must take the written permit test at a Florida DHSMV location. Unfortunately, applicants over 18 do not qualify for the online Class E Knowledge Exam per Florida rules.

The Florida First-Time Driver's Written Exam is a 50-question multiple-choice exam. You must score an 80% or higher to pass. You cannot get more than ten questions wrong to get a passing score. Per Florida law, you will be allowed 60 minutes (1 hour) to complete the written exam online. Once the exam has been started, you will not be allowed to pause or stop the exam. Any questions not answered after the 60 minutes have expired will be marked as incorrect.

If you cannot pass the Permit Test on the first try, you will have two more opportunities to take the test. If you cannot pass the exam after your 3rd attempt, you must take the Permit Test in person at an approved Florida DHSMV location.

Note: You must register and pay separate fees for each test attempt.

Once you pass your Learner's Permit Test, you must go to a DHSMV office to get your Learner's License or driver's license. Take the following items with you:

• Proof of Identification — such as your birth certificate or United States Passport. If you do not have your original birth certificate (a copy is unacceptable), you may bring a certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the state where you were born.
• Proof of Social Security Number — bring your original social security card or W-2 showing your social security number.
• Proof of Residential Address — such as your home utility bill, cable bill, home telephone bill, etc.
• Parent/Guardian Online Test Proctoring Form — Since you completed the Class E Knowledge test online, this form must be completed and signed in the presence of a driver's license examiner or notarized if the parent or guardian will not be present.
• Parental Consent Form — If you are under 18 and unmarried, one parent or legal guardian must sign your license application. Step-parents may not sign unless they have legally adopted you. This form must be completed and signed in the presence of a driver's license examiner or notarized if the parent or guardian will not be present.

Yes, we can make updates to your certificate. However, registering with the correct information is essential. Double-check that your birthday, social security number, and legal name is spelled correctly. Your legal name must exactly match the documents you use to prove your identity when you pick up your driving permit.

Before you start the permit exam, you will be prompted to double-check your personal information. This will be the last opportunity to update your personal information and verify it is correct before we send it to the DHSMV. If the information is submitted incorrectly, you must contact us to have it corrected. Corrections can take 15 minutes or up to 24 hours since a DHSMV agent must manually make the corrections after requesting the changes.

Yes. In July 2020, Florida enacted a new law that expired Class E Knowledge Exam results after one year since driving regulations and guidelines change yearly. Therefore, when you pass the official DHSMV written exam, you have one year to use your test results and to pick up your permit or driver's license. After one year, you must retake the exam in person at a local DHSMV office. In this case, Florida law does not allow you to take the Permit Exam online.
