• Information About Driving Skills Tests

Prior to scheduling a skills test, you must obtain a temporary instruction permit from a Secretary of State branch office. The Secretary of State Branch Office Locator will help you find a branch in your community.

The Road Skills Testing Organization Locator provides you information about third party driver skills testing organizations statewide. To view organizations in your area, click on the desired region of the State of Michigan map. Next, click on the appropriate county or counties to see where skills test services are offered in your location. (Not all counties have approved third party driver skills testing sites.)

Tips: Be sure to inquire about the organization's fees, methods of payment, and policies for refunds, cancellations, or retests. The individual business practices of each organization may vary.
