Can you take a written driving test online in California?
I want to get my driver’s license, but I need to take the written test. I’m already busy with school and a part-time job, so I want to take the test from home. Can I take a written driving test online if I live in California?

As of 2022, you can take your written driving test online in California or in-person at a DMV office near you. When you submit your application for a learner’s permit, you will learn whether you are eligible to take the written test online.
If you take the test online, you will likely still need to visit a DMV office in order to submit the required identity documents, have your picture taken, and get your fingerprint recorded. But your visit should be shorter if you’ve already passed the test.
Once you’ve completed the online knowledge test and are ready to hit the road, be sure to find the lowest rate on
