Who Must Pass Alaska Written Test?
First-time applicants.
When you apply for your first permit or driver’s license, you must pass the written knowledge test.
If your license has expired.
If you let your license in Alaska or any other state expire for more than one year, you must take and pass the written exam again.
If your license has been revoked.
When the DMV revokes your license, you can only get the license back by applying for a new license and passing all tests again.
If you hold a license from another state or country.
Drivers with a valid out-of-country or out-of-state driver’s license may drive in Alaska for 90 days before converting their license to an Alaska license.
Unlike many other states, applicants must pass the written knowledge test before DMV issues an Alaska driver’s license.
Drivers with a driver’s license from a country other than the United States, Canada, or a US Territory must also pass the road skills test in addition to the written test.
What is on the Alaska Written Test?
DMV bases all questions on the driver’s manual information, including traffic laws, safe driving practices, and common highway signs and signals.
There may also be questions about permit restrictions and the dangers of drinking and driving.
If you are under 21, your first driver’s license expires 90 days after your 21st birthday. Before DMV renews your license, you must pass an alcohol awareness test.
What Languages are Available?
DMV offers online examinations in several languages.
If you need an interpreter or have difficulty reading, you may bring someone to read the questions. You must independently answer the questions. Contact DMV ahead of your test for guidance.
What if You Fail the Test?
If you fail the knowledge test, you can try again the next day.
Alcohol and Drug Awareness Knowledge Test
If you are 21 years or older, you must also pass an alcohol awareness test. The test is mandatory after your 21st birthday when you want to renew or upgrade from a permit to a license.
Exemptions exist for applicants 21 and older who are transferring their license from another state.
