Free Delaware DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

To get your Delaware DMV Level One Learner’s Permit, you must be at least 16 years old and pass a vision screening and the written permit knowledge test. The permit test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the state’s Delaware DMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 76% (19 out of 30 questions). If you fail, you must wait at least 10 days and pay a retest fee upon the third attempt! Using our practice tests makes sure that doesn’t happen.

Our free online Delaware DMV Permit Practice Test mirrors the official exam. It is up to date as of February 2025 and also based on the state manual, easily providing you with questions and answers to help you study. Immediate feedback is provided on any missed questions instead of at the end of the assessment.

The Level One Learner’s Permit is the first phase of Delaware’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program for drivers under 18 (up to 22 for those with an Individualized Education Program (IEP)). At age 16, after completing Driver Education, you can apply for this permit. For the first six months, you must drive with a licensed adult (age 25+ with five years of licensure). You can’t drive between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., except for work, school, or church. No phone or electronic device use is allowed while driving. After six violation-free months, you may start driving unsupervised but with nighttime restrictions. Once you’ve held your permit for a year with no violations, you’re free to drive unsupervised. At age 18, you can apply for an unrestricted license after completing the GDL program with no violations.

If you’re 18 or older, the GDL phases do not apply. Once you satisfy the requirements for your Level One Learner’s Permit and have practiced and feel prepared, you can take the road skills test to apply for an unrestricted license.

Once you’re ready to apply for the permit, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, two proofs of residence (utility bill, bank statement), and, if not a US citizen, proof of legal residence and sponsorship identification. If under 18, you’ll need your Delaware Driver Education Certificate and signed consent (in person) from a parent or legal guardian. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
