What To Know About the Passing the Virginia Driving Test

As a first-time driver in the process of getting your license you may be thinking, “How hard is the driving test?” And if you live in Virginia you might have heard the state’s driver license test is amongst the highest ranked in the level of difficulty.

A difficult driving test isn’t all that scary, it just means that it’ll take a bit more preparation, studying, and practice to pass with flying colors. We know you want to ace that driver test on your first attempt. So, here’s a quick list that highlights all the major elements of getting your Virginia driver’s license to give you all the confidence you need.

Eligibility

If this is your first time getting your license at the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles there are two starting requirements that will determine your next steps:

  1. You held a Virginia learner’s permit 60 days or more and completed a Behind-the-Wheel Checklists; which just serves as an observation reviewed a licensed driver on your driving ability prior to taking the road skills test.
  2. Show proof you completed a state-approved driver education program. Fulfilling this requirement will waive the requirement to have a learner’s permit for at least 60 days and taking the road skills tests.

Legal documentation & Identification

  • Proof of identity & legal presence – This confirms your legal name, date of birth, and citizenship. Here are some examples: U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport/passport card, or certificate of citizenship.
  • Two proofs of residency – This provides documentation that you’re a Virginia resident and can confirm your address with a U.S. ID card, official school records, a paycheck stub, or a utility bill.
  • Social security number – The DMV is required by law to have your social security number. A social security card or a W-2 form can fulfill this requirement.

That covers the basic, let’s get to the tests.

The Tests

The Virginia driver tests consist of three parts: a vision screening, a knowledge exam, and a road skills tests.

The vision screening is to measure that your eyesight and peripheral vision meet the DMV’s standards. If you have any special requests or want a complete list of requirements the DMV website is always helpful.

The knowledge exam consists of two parts taken on a computer. This where your memory of road signs and laws really standout. The first half of the exam is strictly traffic signs. The second half of the exam covers your general knowledge of vehicle laws and safe driving techniques.

The road test puts you behind the wheel and into the driver seat. This is where you will apply all the knowledge and education you’ve learned up to this point in showcasing your driving skills.

Being confident for a big test is all in how you prepare and at Driver Knowledge, we have a number of helpful and reliable resources to make sure you have everything you need to get a head start. Although a Virginia driver’s license costs $4, all of our resources are 100% free. So before you head down to the DMV, take a look at our practice tests first and contact us if you need more information.
