First Time Drivers

Under Arkansas DMV guidelines, you must be at least 14 years old to apply for a Learners Permit. The licensee must hold the permit for a minimum of 6 months. Your permit is considered Stage 1 of the Arkansas Graduated Licensing Law where new drivers are eligible for their learners permit at the age of 14. At Stage 2 or the intermediate phase, the new driver is eligible to take their road skills test to receive a provisional driver's license once they have held their learners permit for a minimum of 6 months.

Prepare for the Written Test

The Arkansas MVD requires that all applicants must pass a written exam on traffic signs, motor vehicle laws and safe driving techniques. If you fail the exam, some states require you to wait until at least the next day to take the test again and charge a re-examination fee.

All new drivers are encouraged to study for this driver education exam so you don't miss the opportunity to get your learners permit as soon as you reach the approved age. Online practice tests are available that provide real sample questions from the DMV Exam - Take the Arkansas practice permit test now and test your driving knowledge.

  • Parent or Legal Guardian to the Testing Site

On the Road
