( Because of the pandemic, most drivers 70 and older can renew totally online this year.)
Generally, the test that the DMV calls the “driver’s license knowledge test,” is required for those getting their license for the first time and motorists every five years after turning 70 years old.įor drivers, the agency says, tackling the test at home will save significant time at the DMV field office, which still must be visited by by many to get a photo and thumbprint taken and to complete a vision exam. The Department of Motor Vehicles’ written test can now be taken online - or skipped all together for some by replacing it with a 45-minute, online course.
