📅 Cách Đặt Lịch

1. 1

   Study the manual and practice

   Read the Alabama Driver Manual and practice. The knowledge test covers Alabama traffic laws, road signs, and rules of safe driving — all taken from material in the manual.

2. 2

   Visit an ALEA driver license office

   Take the test at an ALEA Driver License office. You must be at least 15 to apply for a learner license (Stage I). Foreign-language written tests are available in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese; oral exams are available for those unable to read the test.

3. 3

   Pass the vision and knowledge tests

   Pass the vision screening, then the 30-question knowledge test (you need 24 correct). On passing, you are issued a learner license with a 'Y' restriction. After holding it (six months for those 16–17) and passing the road skills test, the Y restriction is removed.
