Know the format before you book.
Arizona lets a parent or legal guardian proctor the entire 30 question permit exam from a kitchen table. MVD runs Permit Test at Home through a guardian's AZ MVD Now account, or through a participating Arizona professional driving school, for a $7 application fee, and it is open to any applicant under 18. Pass at home and you still make one office visit afterwards for the vision check, the photo, and a guardian signature, with a notarized application standing in if they cannot attend. The pass mark is 24 of the 30, which is 80 percent, so six wrong answers is the whole margin. If you would rather test in person, the practical detail worth knowing is the calendar rather than the exam: MVD offices run written testing 7:30am to 4:45pm Monday to Friday with no appointment needed, but close on state holidays and on the second Wednesday of every month. The permit is valid 12 months and must be held 6 months, or until you turn 18.

What the process looks like.
The knowledge test is written from the Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28, Transportation. Our questions teach those same rules and cite the section behind each answer, so what you learn holds up on test day and on the road afterwards.
You can apply for an instruction permit at 15 years and 6 months, and the permit stays valid for 12 months.
The permit must be held for six months, or until you turn 18, before you are eligible for a Class G driver license. That six month clock only starts once the permit has been issued in an office.
Before the driving test, a parent or guardian must certify at least 30 hours of supervised practice with at least 10 of them at night, or 20 hours with 6 at night if the applicant completed a certified driver education or defensive driving school program.
A teenager under 18 can take the whole written test at home, proctored by a parent or legal guardian through their AZ MVD Now account, or through a participating Arizona professional driving school.
Passing the test online still means one office visit afterwards, for the vision check, the photo, and a parent or guardian signature on the application. A notarized application substitutes if they cannot attend.
Anyone who has never held a US driver license has to pass the permit test before a road test can be booked, whatever their age.
Permit Test at Home, proctored through a parent or legal guardian's AZ MVD Now account, carries a $7 application fee. Testing inside an office is done on a touch screen computer, with an audio version available.
Study the Arizona Driver Manual and work through the MVD's own online practice tests before you book; the agency points every applicant at both.
What the records show.
At-home test fee. Application fee for Permit Test at Home, paid by the parent or legal guardian proctoring the test through AZ MVD Now.
