Arizona · Permit Requirements
Before you visit the DMV, make sure you meet every Arizona learner's permit requirement — missing a single document sends you home without a permit. This page lists everything you need: age, documents, tests, and fees, sourced from the Arizona Driver License Manual (2026).
Already have your documents? Practice the free knowledge test below so you walk in ready to pass on the first try.
Three sample questions from our practice bank. Read the explanation after each.
Question 1 · Road signs
In Arizona, what shape is reserved exclusively for stop signs?
Correct answer: Octagon
Octagon = stop sign. It's the only sign with eight sides.
Question 2 · Speed limits
In Arizona, what is the speed limit when approaching a school crosswalk unless otherwise posted?
Correct answer: 15 mph
15 mph approaching a school crosswalk unless a sign says otherwise.
Question 3 · Alcohol and drugs
According to the Arizona manual, does being under the 0.08% BAC limit mean it is safe or legal to drive?
Correct answer: No — being under the limit doesn't make it legal or safe to drive
Under 0.08% BAC still isn't a green light — you can be charged with DUI if impaired.
Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), your Social Security number (Social Security card), and proof of Arizona residency (two documents such as utility bills or bank statements). Bring originals — photocopies are typically not accepted.
15½ for an instruction permit. Different requirements apply depending on your age — younger applicants must complete driver education before applying.
$7 permit application fee. Check the DMV website for the current fee schedule as these can change.
It depends on your age. Adults (18+) can generally apply directly. Applicants under 18 in Arizona must typically complete an approved driver education program first.
