The Alabama permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Alabama learner's permit. Administered by the Alabama ALEA, it is based on the official Alabama driver handbook.
The Alabama ALEA knowledge test is a written exam covering road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving from the Alabama Driver Manual, plus a vision test, to receive your Stage I Learner's License at 15.
You must hold the learner's license for at least 6 months and remain supervised before taking the road skills test for your Stage II restricted license.
In Alabama, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit, not required, and log no state minimum (always supervised) of supervised driving over a 6 months permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Alabama ALEA administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
