Obtaining a Connecticut License for the First Time
(18 Years of Age or Older)
Applicants 18 years of age or older are not required to provide proof of driver training. However, it is recommended that you study the Connecticut Driver's Manual and read the Guide to Passing Your Driving Test (Z-17) prior to your scheduled appointment.

If you have not previously had a Connecticut license suspended or revoked, you may receive on the road instruction provided you are accompanied by a licensed operator who is at least 20 years of age and has held a license for the past four years without suspension.

Prior to beginning your training you may want to schedule an appointment for the driver's license test as the applications and fees for the appointments need to be made in advance of the test date. At the time of your driver's license test appointment, you must show the following:

Identification: You must present your certified Birth Certificate (hospital issued certificates are not acceptable) or valid Passport, in addition to one form of identification from list of acceptable forms of identification . Photocopies of documents are not acceptable. Note: If an applicant has been issued a Connecticut Identification Card (ID), it must be surrendered when the driver's license is issued.

Note: If you are not a citizen of the United States, you will be required to show proof of your legal status in this country.
Holders of a B1 or B2 Visitor's Visa are not eligible for a driver's license or identification card unless a valid USCIS Employment Authorization Card and verification of an application pending for Lawful Permanent Residence is provided.
Foreign students with an F1 Visa status must show USCIS document I-20 and verification of current enrollment in a Connecticut school.
J1 Visa holders are required to show USCIS document DS2019.
H1B Visa holders are required to show a valid USCIS Employment Authorization Card and an employee verification letter from a Connecticut employer.
All applicants will be verified through USCIS for legal status before a driver's license/identification card will be issued.


Verification of your Connecticut Resident Address (P.O. Box is not acceptable): Verification may be in the form of your appointment confirmation letter, utility bill, mortgage document, lease or rental agreement, or postmarked mail dated within 90 days such as magazines, letters, etc.



Social Security Number: In accordance with the Social Security Act 42 U.S.C. 666 (a) (13), it will be required that the social security number of any applicant applying for a new driver's license be recorded on the Application for a Non-Commercial Drivers License (form R-229). If you do not have a social security number, you must obtain a letter from the Social Security Administration that states you are ineligible for a social security number. This letter must be submitted to DMV when applying for your driver's license, learner's permit or ID card.


Photograph: A recent photograph of yourself without head wear or dark glasses (photograph will not be returned).


Properly registered and insured vehicle appropriate for the type of test you are taking. Daily rentals are not allowed on road tests.


Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate.


Connecticut Insurance card.


License Fee: The fee for your license, which can vary from $66 to $77, depending on the number of years the license will be valid (five and one-half to seven years), which depends on your date of birth. See acceptable forms of payment.
The test to receive your license is given in three parts. The first part is the eye test, the second part is the law test (16 question knowledge test) and the third part is the road test. The following is a brief explanation of each of these parts:

Eye Test
The eye test evaluates:

a. acuity (how clearly you see)
b. peripheral vision (how far you can see to either side while looking straight ahead)
c. depth and color perception.

The minimal vision requirements for all classes of license is at least 20/40 in each eye with or without glasses or contact lenses. But if the applicant is blind in one eye, the other eye must be at least 20/30.

Law (Knowledge) Test
The law test consists of 16 questions; answering 12 correctly is considered passing. The test is based on the information contained in the Connecticut Driver's Manual.

Road Test (Behind the Wheel Evaluation)
This test is given after the applicant has successfully passed the eye and 16 question knowledge test. You must supply a vehicle for the road test. This vehicle must: be appropriate for the license class for which you are applying, be mechanically safe, and have a proper registration and insurance card. There is no limit to the number of individuals who can be tested in the same vehicle; however, driving schools are limited to four per vehicle. A non-licensed operator cannot drive to the test location unless accompanied by a licensed operator.

Individuals using an out of state registered test vehicle must bring a copy of the vehicle's insurance policy (meeting Connecticut minimum requirements for insurance):

$20,000 bodily injury per person
$40,000 bodily injury per accident
$10,000 property damage per accident
If the test vehicle is found to be in an unsafe operating condition , no behind the-wheel evaluation will be conducted; the owner may be issued a warning ticket for defective equipment and the applicant will be given a no fee card for a re-test at a future date. Road tests may be conducted if minor defects are found, even if a warning ticket is issued.

The road test evaluates:

Safe condition of the test vehicle.
Ability to properly adjust seat, mirror, seat belts ("preparing to drive").
Response to traffic control signs and signals, signaling, interaction with other motorists (yielding right-of-way, response to emergency vehicles).
Backing and/or parking.
Proficiency in basic driving skills such as turns.
Other driver maneuvers at the direction of the inspector.
The road test generally takes 15 to 20 minutes.



If you fail the road test or the law test, the minimum wait time required before taking a driver's license test is as follows:

1st failure - 30 Days
2 or more failures - 60 Days
