The written permit test has 30 multiple-choice questions and you need 80% (24 correct) to pass. Teens under 18 can take it as the Permit Test @ Home through a parent's AZ MVD Now account ($7 application fee, 30-minute limit, parent supervises) or at any MVD office on a touch screen with an audio option and no appointment; it is offered in English, Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, Tagalog and Vietnamese. ADOT MVD has announced that anyone who fails the written or road test must wait at least seven days before retesting.

Tip: Start with module 1, “Arizona laws & permit rules”. These 12 questions cover rules that are specific to Arizona, the part of the test that general study guides usually miss.

Arizona traffic laws you will be tested on

Topic	Arizona rule	Source
Alcohol: zero tolerance under 21	If you are under 21, any trace of alcohol, marijuana or impairing drugs brings stiff penalties and a 2-year license suspension. For adults, 0.08% BAC or more (0.04% in a commercial vehicle) means losing your driving privilege on the spot, and you can be convicted of DUI even below 0.08%.	apps.azdot.gov
Handheld phone ban	You may not hold or support a phone or other portable device with any part of your body while driving, or write, send or read texts, email or internet data; hands-free and voice-to-text use is allowed. The fine is $75 to $149 for a first violation and $400 after that.	azleg.gov
Seat belts	Front-seat occupants must wear a seat belt, and drivers must make sure every passenger under 16 is buckled. It is a secondary offense: an officer can't stop you only for a seat belt violation, and the civil penalty is up to $10.	azleg.gov
Child safety seats	Children under 5 must be secured in a child restraint system, and children ages 5 to 8 must stay in a child restraint system until they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall.	apps.azdot.gov
Move Over Law	Arizona's Move Over Law (ARS 28-775) requires you to move over one lane when passing any vehicle pulled to the side with flashing lights, including emergency, police, tow, highway maintenance and private vehicles; if you can't do so safely, slow down and proceed with caution.	apps.azdot.gov
Speed limits when none is posted	When no limit is posted: 15 mph when approaching a school crosswalk, 25 mph in any business or residential district, 55 mph on open highways or city freeways, 65 mph on designated open highways and 75 mph on rural freeways.	apps.azdot.gov
Headlights	You must use headlights from sunset to sunrise. Use high beams only when no oncoming vehicle is within 500 feet, and use low beams when you are within 200 feet of a car you are following.	apps.azdot.gov
Implied consent	By driving in Arizona you consent to alcohol and drug testing. If you refuse or don't complete a test after a DUI arrest, you automatically lose your driving privilege for 12 months, or 24 months for a second refusal within 84 months.	apps.azdot.gov

Arizona learner permit and teen license rules

Graduated instruction permit at 15 years 6 months: drive only with a Class A, B, C or D licensed driver at least 21 in the seat beside you. The permit is valid for 12 months.
Hold the permit at least 6 months (counted from when it is issued in an office) or until you turn 18 before getting a Class G license.
Before the Class G license, complete 30 hours of supervised practice including 10 at night, or 20 hours including 6 at night if you finished an approved traffic survival school or defensive driving program, and pass the road test; or complete an approved driver education program, which waives the road test.
Class G license from 16, with a parent or guardian signature.
First 6 months with a Class G license: no driving from midnight to 5 a.m. unless a licensed parent or guardian is beside you or you are driving directly to or from a school-sponsored activity, work, a religious activity or a family emergency.
First 6 months: no more than one passenger under 18 (siblings excepted, or with a licensed parent or guardian beside you), and no wireless device use except for emergencies or audible navigation.
Breaking these rules costs up to $75 and adds 30 days to the restrictions the first time, up to $100 and 60 days the second time, and up to $100 and a 30-day suspension the third time.

How to get your Arizona learner's permit

Study the Arizona Driver License Manual (September 2026) and take ADOT's online practice tests.
Take the 30-question permit test, either at home through a parent's AZ MVD Now account ($7 application fee, parent proctors) or at an MVD office.
Complete the Driver License/Identification Card Application (Form 40-5122); a parent or guardian must sign in front of an MVD agent or a notary.
Bring the original supporting documents listed on Form 40-5144, and go to an MVD or Authorized Third Party office (you can book on AZMVDNow.gov).
Pass the vision test, have your photo taken and get your graduated instruction permit (the manual lists $7 for an instruction permit).
Hold the permit 6 months while logging practice hours, then take the road test or finish an approved driver education program to get your Class G license.

Take the timed Arizona exam simulation and review every mistake before your appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take the Arizona permit test at home?

Yes, if you are under 18. A parent or legal guardian with a state-issued license or ID sets it up in their AZ MVD Now account, pays the $7 application fee and supervises you. You get 30 minutes, need 80% to pass, and then visit an MVD or Authorized Third Party office for the vision test, photo and permit.

Do I have to take driver's ed in Arizona?

No. You can log 30 supervised hours (10 at night) and pass the road test, log 20 hours (6 at night) after an approved traffic survival school or defensive driving program and pass the road test, or complete an approved driver education program and skip the road test.

I already have an instruction permit from another state. Do I start over in Arizona?

No. You take the Arizona permit test, but you get credit for the months you held your out-of-state permit. For example, with 3 months on a California permit you hold the Arizona permit for 3 more months instead of 6.

What happens if I get a traffic ticket while I'm under 18 with a Class G license?

For a first conviction you must attend Traffic Survival School; a second conviction brings a 3-month suspension and a third a 6-month suspension, and each violation goes on your driving record.

Are these the real DMV test questions?

No. The Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division does not publish its exam. Our Arizona module is written from the official handbook and state law, and the core modules cover the rules of the road taught in every state handbook.

Is this practice test free?

Yes. Every lesson, practice round and exam simulation is free, with no sign-up.
