In Rhode Island, all drivers must obtain an instructional permit before applying for a driver’s license. Requirements include being at least 16 years old and passing a vision test plus the computerized DMV written knowledge test.
If you’re under 18, you must complete a 33-hour classroom driver’s education course (no driving yet) starting at age 15 years and 10 months or older. You must finish the course before applying for the instructional permit. Your parent, guardian, or adult spouse must also accompany you to the DMV to co-sign the application.
All questions on the knowledge test come from the official Rhode Island driver’s manual (Rhode Island DMV Handbook (RI Driver’s Manual) 2026). The test has 40 questions, and you need 80% to pass.
