Official information
🌐 Languages
New York's written knowledge (permit) test is officially offered — and the list is officially published — in 20 languages: English, Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian, Chinese, French, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Urdu, and Yiddish. The permit test may be taken online (under-18 applicants, and applicants 18+ via the MV-264 attestation) or in person at a DMV office; either way, applicants complete the permit transaction in person at a DMV office. Vietnamese is not among the 20 enumerated written-test languages. Separately, the DMV provides free interpretation in its 12 most common statewide languages (Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Yiddish, Bengali, Korean, Haitian Creole, Italian, Arabic, Polish, French, Urdu). No office-specific language-service reports were found in community sources for this office. [Source: dmv.ny.gov permit-test & language-assistance pages, checked 2026-07-13]
