To get your Rhode Island DMV Limited Instructional Permit (LIP) or “learner’s”), you must be at least 16 years old, complete a 33-hour driver education course, and pass a vision screening and written knowledge test. The knowledge test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, safe driving practices, road signs, signals, alcohol and drug effects, pavement markings, and sharing the road, as outlined in the state’s Rhode Island DMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (20 out of 40 questions). If you fail, you must wait eight days and pay a retest fee. Our practice tests ensure you pass on your first attempt.
Our free online Rhode Island DMV Permit Practice Test is updated for October 2025 and mimics real exam conditions based on the state manual. Scientifically proven to speed learning, immediate feedback is provided on all questions.
Rhode Island’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program is designed to help minors gradually gain experience in driving. At age 16, you can apply for a LIP, which allows you to drive while accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and has been licensed for at least five years. After holding your LIP for at least 6 months without any violations and passing the road skills test, you may obtain a Limited Provisional License (LPL). With an LPL, you can drive alone except between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM (unless for work, school, or religious activities). After you’ve held your LPL for at least 12 months without any violations, you can take the road test and apply for an unrestricted Operator’s License.
If you’re 18 or older, you are not required to fulfill the GDL phases, but must still pass the vision and knowledge tests and obtain a permit. Once passed, you can immediately take the road skills test and obtain your unrestricted license or continue practicing under supervision with your permit until you feel ready.
Once you’re ready to apply for the permit, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, application form, and proof of residence (utility bill, bank statement). If you’re under 18, you will need signed consent (in person) from a parent or legal guardian. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
