“Online
testing is commonplace for things such as college courses and professional
certifications, so having the Permit Test @ Home is a modern and
convenient way for MVD to serve our customers,” said MVD Stakeholder Relations
Manager Jennifer Bowser-Richards.
“Learning to drive is a
rite of passage for many teens and the Permit Test @ Home makes the
process a bit easier,” she added. “Rather than requiring teens and their
parents to come to an MVD office to pick up the manual and then return for the
knowledge test, MVD is making everything available digitally.”
Online practice tests have
been available at www.azdot.gov/practice for a number of years, allowing students to
familiarize themselves with the questions and become better informed about
traffic laws and procedures. The Permit Test @ Home expands that to the
actual test by establishing a secure proctoring method in which parents log
into AZ MVD Now to establish an account using their driver license or ID card.
The parent or guardian
will then register their teen for the Permit Test @ Home and agree to
the terms. Teens must be at least 15 years and 6 months old to obtain an
instruction permit. Parents must certify that they will proctor the exam
fairly. For teens under the age of 18, the application for an instruction
permit or driver license must be signed by a parent or guardian who is
responsible for damage caused by negligence or the willful misconduct of the
child.
The Permit Test @ Home requires
a $7 application fee, which is the same fee applicable to office visits.
Teens will have three
attempts to pass the test within 12 months.
