North Dakota Permit Test & Driver’s License FAQ

  • How many questions are on the North Dakota permit test?

    The North Dakota permit test consists of 25 questions, and you must answer at least 20 questions correctly to get a passing score (80%). The questions in our sample tests are nearly identical to those on the official exam.

  • What is the ND learner's permit?

    A permit lets new drivers practice with a supervising adult before they can obtain the next license. You can get a restricted license at age 15-16, and an unrestricted license when you're 16 or older.

  • How old do I need to be to get a permit?

    You must be at least 14 years old.

  • What documents do I need to apply?

    Bring proof of identity, legal presence, ND residency, and Social Security number. You'll also need your parents to accompany you to the NDDOT office.

  • Do I need to pass any tests?

    Yes, you must pass a written knowledge test and a vision screening to get your permit.

  • How do I move from a permit to a restricted license?

    You'll need to hold your permit for 6+ months, complete driver's education (if you are under 16), and pass the road test. Read more here.

  • What are the rules with a restricted license?

    • If you're under 16, you can't drive between 9 p.m. (or sunset, if later) and 5 a.m., unless you're going to or from work, school, or a religious event.
    • Also, if you're under 18, you are not allowed to use a cell phone while driving unless it's an emergency.
    • You can't have more people in the car than it's made to carry.
