Oral/audio and ASL testing accommodations may be available for applicants who need them. The exact setup can vary by office or accommodation need.
Oral or audio testing assistance may be available for applicants who need help accessing the written test. Ask the ALEA testing office what assisted-testing setup is available for your situation.
ASL accommodation may be available for applicants who need it. Contact the testing office before your visit to confirm how the accommodation is provided at that location.
You cannot bring a translator, family member, or friend to help during the knowledge test. Translation dictionaries and electronic devices are prohibited at the kiosk. The test is an individual assessment, outside assistance of any kind voids the session.
Road-test language and interpreter rules are a separate intent; use the dedicated Road Test Language page for that part of the licensing process.
No. A family member or other personal interpreter cannot translate the knowledge-test questions for you. Use an ALEA-provided language or approved accommodation instead.
"The AI mock tests were surprisingly realistic. The explanations for road signs helped me understand the logic, not just memorize. Passed my permit test on the first try!"

"I was struggling with the specific road rules of my state until I used Shoro. The flashcards are a game changer for quick revision before the actual exam."

"The readiness score gives you so much confidence. I knew exactly when I was ready to take the test. Highly recommend Shoro for anyone nervous about their exam."
