DC DMV Practice Tests and Driver Guides 2026

Free DC permit practice on 298 questions, grouped into 15 topics, with no sign-up and no payment. 78 of them are road sign questions and 220 cover road rules.

Driver's Practice Test

What DC asks of you

DC DMV offers the knowledge test in fifteen languages, rising to twenty-four from 15 December 2025, and you can now sit it virtually or at a Test Proctoring Center by appointment instead of queuing at a Service Center.

A fee is payable whether you pass or fail, and once you pass you have fourteen business days to bring your documents to a Service Center - miss that and the result is not honoured and you test again.

The full rules, fees and holding periods are set out in our DC driver's license guide, which quotes the DMV’s own pages.

DC car practice test — work through the 15 topics one at a time

Every question comes with the correct answer, so a wrong one teaches you something. These are practice questions written to the topics the DC DMV automobile driver manual covers — they are not the DMV’s own test questions, and nothing here replaces the DC DMV automobile driver manual itself.
