Do I need an appointment for the DMV driving test?

I’ve been studying and I think I’m finally ready to take my driving test. Can I just show up? Or do I have to make an appointment at the DMV?

Good luck on the test! Whether or not you need an appointment for the DMV driving test varies by state (and sometimes even by county).
In general, it’s a good idea to call your local DMV to see what arrangements you need to make for taking the driving test in your area. Some other details you may want to clarify beforehand include:
  • The fee for taking the test
  • If you can make an online appointment
  • Requirements for the car you’ll drive for your test
