This answer has been viewed 3202 times and was last updated on 02/09/2023.

Our office administers Class E driving skills road tests by appointment only and for Manatee County residents only. Please be prepared to provide residency proof in your name by bringing a rental lease, utility bill, property tax bill, or U.S. mail addressed to you that indicates you reside in Manatee County. If you live with someone else in Manatee County and do not have proof in your name, complete a Certification of Address form and provide the same proof as described above in the name of the person you are living with.

If you are interested in taking the Class E driving skills road test, you must:

1. Use our online appointment system to schedule your appointment.
2. Complete a driver license application. Do not print the application; an associate will access your electronic submission during your appointment. Applications are valid for 90 days.
3. If under 18, ask your parent or guardian to complete a driving experience certification form, and bring it with you to your appointment if your parent or guardian doesn't accompany you to our office.
4. If using a rental vehicle to take the road test, complete a rental vehicle affidavit. If you’re not on the rental agreement, then the person named in the rental agreement must complete the form.
5. Read our driving skills road test publication for additional information.

Private companies can administer the driving skills road test on weekends, after hours, or during regular business hours in locations throughout Manatee County. Upon your successful completion of the test, the company uploads your results to the State of Florida, allowing us to use the test results on file. This expedites the issuance of your license when you visit our office. Email Ault's Driver Education Center, or call Ault's Driver Education Center at (941) 355-4202.You can also visit the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' driver license exams page for a full list of private providers.
