Frequently Asked Questions:
Getting a Rhode Island Driver License
New Drivers
Rhode Island drivers who are at least 16 years of age, but less than 18 years of age, are eligible to apply for a driver’s permit. Applicants must have completed the 33-hour driver education course provided by the Community College of Rhode Island, or another certified course if available.
Upon passing a written exam, the applicant will receive a permit that is valid for one year or until the applicant turns 18 years old, whichever is greater. A parent, guardian, or adult spouse must be present to sign the permit application, and the applicant must provide proof of identity and residency. A list of acceptable documents is available on the License/ID/Permit Application.
Once the new driver has held the permit for at least six months and has a signed affidavit from the parent or guardian that 50 hours of supervised driving experience have been completed, the driver can take a road test. Upon passing the road test, the driver will advance to a limited provisional license, which allows solo driving with restrictions. Drivers can advance to an unrestricted operator’s license after holding the provisional license for 12 months and/or on their eighteenth birthday, as long as they have not been convicted of a motor vehicle violation during the preceding 6 months.
New drivers over the age of 18 are not required to complete the driver’s education course. They will be required to pass a computerized knowledge exam to be issued a learner’s permit. After successfully completing a road test, the driver can advance to a full operator’s license.
Rhode Island License Renewal
Rhode Island offers different methods of driver’s license renewal:
- Online, with a credit card for payment
- In person, at a DMV branch location
Your license will be renewed for a maximum of five years. If you are over age 72, your license will expire by your 75th birthday, and every 2 years following.
Rhode Island Enhanced Driver’s License and REAL ID
Since 2018, Rhode Island has offered REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses. REAL ID is a credential that will be required as of October 1st, 2021, for travel on domestic flights and to access federal property, such as military bases. REAL IDs look like standard Rhode Island driver’s licenses with the addition of a gold star.
You can get a REAL ID at no additional cost during your standard renewal period, or you can pay $27.50 to convert your existing license to a REAL ID outside of the renewal period. You must provide additional documentation to receive a REAL ID. View the REAL ID Identification Documents List for more information.
How to Get an Insurance Discount
If you have confirmed with your agent that you’re eligible for an insurance discount, simply:
- register for a DriveSafe Online Rhode Island course
- review the videos in the course
- pass the final exam
Then provide your agent with the certificate of completion emailed to you after you finish the course. You may even have the certificate emailed directly to your agent to save time. If you’re eligible, your agent will use the certificate to apply a defensive driving discount.
Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
The Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the official government office that provides Rhode Island driver’s licenses and state identification cards. Whether you’ve earned your first driver’s license, need to renew your existing license, or you simply have questions about Rhode Island traffic laws and regulations, the Rhode Island DMV is the resource for all your DMV needs.
Find the Nearest Rhode Island DMV Office
The Rhode Island DMV offers many branch offices for you to complete your driver-related business. However, all computerized knowledge exams will need to be completed at the DMV Cranston office. All Out-of-Country and US Territories driver’s license transactions must also be completed at DMV Cranston.
