ProAbout the New Hampshire DMV Test
New Hampshire's written knowledge test is administered by the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and is required for anyone applying for a learner's permit or first driver's license. The test has 40 multiple-choice questions drawn from the New Hampshire Driver's Manual, and you need at least 32 correct answers (80%) to pass.
Where and How to Take It
In-person at a New Hampshire DMV office. You must book an appointment before you go. Schedule through the DMV website or by calling your local DMV office. The written test is available in 8 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Arabic.
What to Bring
Plan to bring the documents the DMV requires: Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport); Social Security number; Proof of New Hampshire residency; Parental consent (if under 18); Proof of driver education completion (if under 18). The knowledge test is part of a permit fee of about $50.
On Test Day
You have 40 minutes to complete it. Your results are shown immediately on screen.
If You Don't Pass
If you fail a knowledge test you must wait 10 calendar days to retest as an Operator or Motorcycle applicant, or 5 calendar days as a CDL applicant, and the same waits apply after a failed road test. Testing is by appointment only. NH publishes no retake fee for the non-commercial knowledge or road test; the only test charge is a CDL fee of $20 per commercial reexamination within a one-year period. It does not publish a limit on attempts.
Minimum Age and Eligibility
You must be at least 15½ years old to take the New Hampshire knowledge test. Applicants under 18 must have parental consent and complete a state-approved driver education course.
After You Pass
New Hampshire does not issue traditional learner's permits. Applicants go directly to a Youth Operator License (under 18) or full driver's license (18+) after passing the knowledge and road tests.
