Do you have to book a USA driving test or do you just turn up at a centre and take the test?

Question

i work for a driving school in the UK and we are not sure if you have a booking process in the USA. here in the UK we have to book a test and it can (and does ) take up to two months to get a date.

Answer 1

In Wisconsin where I live they now have everyone going on-line to book appointments.... Boy that sure as heck sucks, because with all the "smaller" town DMV's closed you gotta travel quite far .....

It also took us over 3 months of going on-line everyday every few hours just to find an opining for our daughter to go in to take the road test!!!! The school was a little mad because we had to take her out for her appointment....

It was never that bad when I was a kid!!! My cousin in Michigan went through the same c**p.......... so I don't know if they are all the same or if each state is different??!!

Answer 2

Most places in the US you just show up and go when your name is called.

You still might wind up waiting two months though.  Bring a book.

Answer 3

Just show up with all of the necessary paperwork and take the test, best time is early in the morning and the wait is less than 1 hour.
