About the Mississippi DMV Test

Mississippi's written knowledge test is administered by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) and is required for anyone applying for a learner's permit or first driver's license. The test has 30 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Mississippi Driver's Manual, and you need at least 24 correct answers (80%) to pass.

Where and How to Take It

In-person at any Mississippi DPS driver's license station. Walk-ins are generally accepted, though booking ahead can shorten your wait. The DPS lists the knowledge test in several languages, including English, Spanish. Confirm the current options with the DPS, since the languages a test is offered in can differ from the languages the handbook is published in.

What to Bring

Plan to bring the documents the DPS requires: Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport); Social Security card; Proof of Mississippi residency; Parental consent (if under 15); Proof of school enrollment (if under 17). The knowledge test is part of a permit fee of about $7.
