Key Connecticut Test Information
We have pulled out some important highlights of information related to the Connecticut state tests. But this list is not exhaustive. Please review the driver’s handbook for details on Connecticut state laws and for how to prepare
for your written and practical driving tests.
Identification requirements
Applicants must present acceptable documents establishing your identity/birthdate, residency, and provide your Social Security Number (SSN), if eligible. Documents must be original or certified copies. Applicants must not provide photocopies or self-laminated documents.
Age Requirements
All 16- and 17-year-old applicants for a driver’s license must complete a driver training program through one of the following:
- Licensed Commercial Driving School

- Home Training Program and eight-hour course on safe driving practices (including 2-hour parent training)
A person 18 years of age or older must obtain and hold a learner’s permit for at least 90 days prior to taking a road test.
Safe Driving Course
A learner’s permit is required before you begin practicing driving. A permit holder must carry a learner’s permit whenever he or she is operating a vehicle. Connecticut law requires anyone, regardless of age, who has not previously held a license in Connecticut or who does not hold a valid license issued by another state, to take an 8-hour Safe Driving Practices course at a Connecticut Commercial Driving School before he or she can obtain a license. DMV will mail a new photo image learner’s permit to all qualified applicants.

The minimum vision requirements for all classes of license are at least 20/40 with or without glasses or contact lenses.
If the applicant is blind in one eye, the other eye must be at least 20/40 with a minimal visual field of 100 degrees or more. (Persons with monocular vision do not qualify for certain special licenses or endorsements).
