Online Learner’s Permit Test

If you are 15 years and 6 months of age or older, you can take the written test for a learner’s permit to drive in Hawaiʻi online. All counties are participating in a new program to allow applicants to take the knowledge test from the comfort of your home, in a classroom or just about anywhere. Note: you must meet technology requirements and visit a drivers licensing center to complete the process.

How it’s done

To take the test online, you must have an internet-connected desktop or laptop computer with a mouse (or mouse-pad controlled cursor), keyboard and a functioning webcam. No cell phone, tablet or touchscreen device may be used.
Using a web browser, go to https://knowtodrive.com/hawaii
Pay the fee for your county online by credit card.
You must provide identity registration information that includes first name, last name, street address, city, state, zip code, date of birth and last five digits of the applicant’s social security number.
Applicants under the age of 18 must have an adult over the age of 18 present to participate in the registration process. The responsible adult will be required to provide first name, last name, date of birth, last five digits of their social security number, and a valid driver’s license number. During the testing, the adult must stay out of view of the webcam.
The 25-question test is currently offered in English and Spanish, and has a one hour time limit to complete.
During the examination, the applicant may not look to the side or navigate away from the test screen.
Upon successful completion of the test, schedule an appointment with a county driver licensing center. You have 30 days after passing the test to complete the requirements and present ALL needed documentation to obtain a learner’s permit.
