There are two main steps to obtaining a learner’s permit in Connecticut: Passing the vision screening and passing the written permit knowledge test. The Connecticut learner permit test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions covering road signs, state traffic laws, and safe driving practices. To pass the test, you must answer at least 20 questions (80%) correctly. In Connecticut, if you fail the test, you must wait seven days to retake it. That’s quite a lengthy wait, so use our resources to make sure that doesn’t happen. All knowledge tests must be taken in person at the DMV.
In Connecticut, the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program is designed to incrementally introduce driving privileges for applicants under 18 instead of granting the full license immediately. The GDL system applies to drivers under 18 and includes restrictions such as curfews and passenger limitations. It ends when the individual turns 18 or after completing a specified period with a clean driving record. During the permit phase, you must drive with someone who is at least 20 years old, has held a driver’s license for at least 4 years with no suspensions, and is seated in the front passenger seat. Also, you are prohibited from driving between 11 PM and 5 AM and must complete a mandatory 8-hour safe driving practices course during this phase. You must hold your learner’s permit for 120 days or 180 days (depending on whether your training was from a driver’s education course or parents, respectively) before moving to the provisional license stage.
Updated for October 2025, our free online Connecticut Permit Practice Test mimics what you will face on the official written test. It will help you pass by providing questions and answers based on the Connecticut DMV 2025 Driver Handbook. By providing instant feedback, our practice tests let you know right away why a response is the best one.
Once you’re ready, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), proof of residency (utility bill, rental agreement, or the like), and proof of Social Security number. If you’re under 18, parental consent and proof of school enrollment are also required. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and take the official written test.
