Who Needs a License?

Any resident of Arizona must have an Arizona license to operate a motor vehicle. You must be at least 18 years old to apply for an operators license, but may apply for an Arizona learner’s permit at 15 years, 6 months of age.

Who Needs To Take The Written Test?

Any first time driver who is a resident of Arizona must take the written driver’s test, as well as a vision and road skills test. Typically, drivers with a valid out-of-state license are not required to take a written test, but may be asked to do so when applying for their Arizona license.

How to Obtain a License.

To obtain a license you need three things:

• Identification and Proof of Age
• Social Security Number
• Parent / Guardian Approval if under 18
• Complete written, road and vision tests

A complete list of requirements and acceptable documents can be found in the $CSLINK or online at the Arizona MVD website.
