What do I need to bring with me to my driving test at the DMV in Connecticut?

You are required to have closed toed and closed heeled shoes. After you pass your test, you will need to pay an $84 licensing fee to the State. It is paid online 24 hours after you pass the test. The driver’s license will be mailed to you by the DMV. 

What to bring:

  • The Road Test Appointment Confirmation Page (sent to you via email after successfully scheduling your appointment). This information can be accessed online using your PIN # at any time.
  • A fully completed application for a non-commercial driver’s license (Form R-229).
  • Your learner's permit. If you don’t have it, you can request a duplicate. If you don’t have the permit and cannot get a duplicate, you’ll lose your appointment and will need to reschedule the test and pay another license exam fee. (If you've lost your learner's permit, you must bring one form of acceptable identification to apply for a duplicate, and the associated fee payment.)
  • A properly registered and insured vehicle (appropriate for the type of test that you are taking). Review all the vehicle requirements. The vehicle used for the road test must be mechanically safe and pass an evaluation.
  • Valid motor vehicle registration certificate. Please verify that you have the current registration in the vehicle before you leave home and bring it into the office when you arrive for your test.
  • Connecticut insurance card. The required proof of insurance must be in the same name as on the registration, except for leased vehicles which may be in the name of the lessee. Please verify that you have the current proof of insurance in the vehicle before you leave home and bring it into the office when you arrive for your test.
  • Your driver education certificate (Form e-DEC) issued by a Connecticut licensed driving school. It will be sent electronically to the DMV after successful completion of the training course.
