About the Newfoundland and Labrador Knowledge Test

The Newfoundland and Labrador written test is the first step toward earning your driver’s licence. It ensures you understand essential topics like:

  • Road signs and signals

  • Right-of-way rules

  • Speed limits and parking laws

  • Defensive driving and safe vehicle operation

You must score at least 85% to pass. Once you succeed, you’ll receive your Class 5 Level I Learner’s Licence, allowing you to drive under supervision.


How to Prepare for the NL Driving Test

Here’s how to get ready for your Newfoundland learner’s permit test effectively:

  • Read the Official NL Driver’s Handbook – Learn all traffic signs, road markings, and driving laws.

  • Book Your Test – Schedule your written test at a Service NL office once you feel confident.


Requirements for the Newfoundland Driving Test

Before writing your knowledge test, make sure you:

  • Are at least 16 years old (need parental consent if under 18)

  • Bring valid identification (e.g., birth certificate or passport)

  • Pay the knowledge test fee

  • Pass a vision test at the Service NL centre

Once you pass the written exam, you can begin the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) process.


Graduated Licensing in Newfoundland and Labrador

The GDL program has two main stages:

  1. Level I (Learner’s Licence) – You must hold this for at least 12 months.

  2. Level II (Novice Licence) – After passing a road test, you can drive unsupervised under certain conditions.

Finally, after 12 months with a clean record, you become a fully licensed Class 5 driver.
