Where to Take the California DMV Test. You may take the knowledge, vision, and behind-the-wheel driving test for cars and trucks at most DMV field offices that provide DL services. To save time, we have made a list of items needed when you take your exam starting with making an appointment online at dmv.ca.gov or call 1-800-777-0133 during normal business hours. Note: Knowledge and vision tests are required when you apply for an original California DL or upgrade to a different class of DL. Cheating The use of testing aids is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: the California Driver Handbook, cheat sheets, and/or electronic communication devices such as a cell phone, hand-held computer, etc. If any testing aid is used during the knowledge test, the knowledge test will be marked as a “failure.” An action may also be taken by CaDMV against your driving privilege or the driving privilege of anyone else who assists you in the examination process. DMV Examinations Your CA DMV DL examinations include: • A vision test (bring your eyeglasses or wear contact lenses if required for driving). • A knowledge test. – DMV utilizes an automated TouchScreen Terminal (TST) to administer the knowledge test. • A behind-the-wheel driving test, if required. You must have an appointment to take the behind-the-wheel driving test. For the driving test, bring: – Your old DL or instruction permit, if you have one. – A licensed driver age 18 years old or older with a valid California DL. – Proof that the vehicle is properly insured. Important: If you use a rental vehicle, the driving test applicant must be listed on the rental contract. The contract must not exclude driving tests.
