Preparing for your road test starts long before you reach the DMV. Bringing the correct documents and meeting DMV requirements helps ensure a smooth testing experience.

1. A Valid Virginia Learner’s Permit

You must have a permit for at least 60 days (for adults) or complete the required driver education program (for teens).

2. A Safe, DMV-Approved Vehicle

Your vehicle must have:

  • Working headlights and brake lights
  • Proper signals
  • Working horn
  • Proper mirrors
  • Valid registration and insurance

If the vehicle is unsafe, the examiner will not allow the test to proceed.
