You may take I-93, U.S. Route 3, U.S. Route 4, NH-16, or NH-101 to commute to work. In your free time, you may take U.S. Route 3, NH-16, or the Kancamagus Highway to the White Mountain National Forest and go hiking, camping, or skiing. Or take I-93 through Franconia Notch State Park and savor the vistas from the Franconia Notch State Parkway. Or explore the social scene and vibrant nightlife in Manchester, Portsmouth, or Concord. There are endless possibilities once you start driving. But to do that legally, you must have a driver’s license.
In New Hampshire, the requirements you must meet for a driver’s license include passing a vision test, passing the official New Hampshire DMV written knowledge test on driving theory, and passing a road test. Unlike every other U.S. state, New Hampshire doesn’t issue learner’s permits to student drivers to practice driving under supervision. Instead, a student driver is allowed to practice driving without any official driving credential as long as that driver is supervised by a licensed parent, guardian, or adult at least 25 years old who is seated in the front passenger seat.

Original questions by our teamBased on 2026 NH Driver Handbook
Questions are created and maintained by the Driving-Tests.org content team following our multi-layer editorial process and updated whenever the New HampshireDMV changes its handbook or website information. Official sources we check:
The knowledge test consists of 40 questions based on the official New Hampshire driver’s manual (New Hampshire DMV Handbook (NH Driver's Manual) 2026). But after reading the manual, did you conclude you needed additional help to pass the knowledge test? OK! That’s what we’re here for. You’re taking our New Hampshire Permit Practice Test. We designed it to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test on their first try. Like the official knowledge test, this practice test is based on the official New Hampshire driver’s manual, and it’s up to date as of January 2026. All practice questions are multiple choice. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question.
When you answer a practice question correctly, it will flash green. If you get stuck on a question, you’re welcome to ask our AI Assistant to discuss the question further, give you a hint, or answer your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the question will flash red, and the AI Assistant will give you the correct answer and an explanation.
Finally, we also offer our own New Hampshire Permit Test Study Guide to help you prepare for the day of the New Hampshire written test. It covers how to prepare your mind and body to pass the test, what documents to take to the DMV, what fees you’ll have to pay, and other last-minute tips.
