Queens road test guide

New York road-test sites are start points, not regular DMV offices. Prepare the permit, course evidence, supervising driver, and test vehicle before leaving, then use the site-specific directions published on this page.

Before test day

Arrive no more than 15 minutes early

The published start point is line up on west side of Stanhope St facing Woodward Ave, Queens, 11385. NYS DMV says to arrive up to 15 minutes before the test and warns that some sites have no shelter. Check cancellations or closings before traveling.

Driving practice is not allowed in a New York road-test area. Join the marked line or meeting point only when reporting for the appointment.

What must be ready

The examiner can refuse the test if the driver, permit, course evidence, or vehicle does not meet the published requirements.

Physical learner permit

Bring the physical photo learner permit and any corrective lenses or hearing aids shown as restrictions. NYS Mobile ID is not accepted for a road test.

Course and practice evidence

Bring the original pre-licensing course certificate when required. Drivers under 18 also need the completed supervised-driving certification.

Licensed driver and vehicle

Bring a driver age 21 or older with a valid license for the vehicle, plus a clean, properly equipped vehicle with current registration, inspection, and insurance.

Use the exact start point

Road-test locations can be curbside meeting points. Follow the official directions and signs instead of navigating only to a broad ZIP-code pin.
