Topic 2 · Requirements and Process
What must you bring to your driving test appointment?
- Instruction permit, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance — correct answer
- Only your Social Security card
- A parent signature only
Why
Bring your permit, the vehicle's registration and valid proof of insurance. Missing any of them means no test. (Handbook, Section 3.)

Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
