Page OverviewThe First Step
You can't become a safe, competent driver without at least a little bit of education. In fact, unless you're married or an emancipated minor, school is required for teens to get licensed in Oregon. First-time teen license applicants must show proof of school enrollment, completion, or exemption.
Step Two
You must also complete either additional 50 hours of supervised driving practice, certified by parent or guardian or the completion of a safety education course from an ODOT-approved provider. Public schools and other providers are listed online by county. Make sure the program is approved by the Oregon Department of Education before you enroll.
You can find the information on the knowledge test in the Oregon Driver Manual, which is also available in Spanish.
Drivers in training may also find a practice test available online.
