Connecticut teen licensing
120 days or 180 days — your training path decides
Connecticut is unusual: how you train determines how long you must hold your learner’s permit before the road test. Choosing the commercial or secondary school route cuts two months off the wait.
Permit at 16
You must be at least 16 and pass a vision test plus a 25-question knowledge test. The permit is valid until you get a licence or for two years, whichever comes first.
Two waiting periods
Which one applies to you depends on where the training came from:
- 120 days — 30 hours classroom and 8 hours behind-the-wheel with a CT licensed commercial or secondary school
- 180 days — the home training route
- Either way, 40 hours of practice driving is required
Your parent must train too
Connecticut requires a parent or legal guardian to complete two hours of instruction covering the laws for under-18 drivers. If they cannot attend, you are not eligible for a licence until you turn 18.
While you hold the permit you may carry no passengers at all beyond a parent, legal guardian or qualified trainer — and no mobile phone use, hands-free included. Details reflect Connecticut DMV guidance; confirm current rules before applying.
Frequently asked questions
Connecticut teen permit and licence FAQs
How long must I hold a Connecticut learner’s permit?
Either 120 or 180 days, depending on your training. Completing 30 hours of classroom and 8 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction with a CT licensed commercial or secondary school makes you eligible after 120 days. The home training route requires 180 days.
Does my parent really have to take a class?
Yes. A parent or legal guardian of a 16 or 17 year old permit holder must complete two hours of instruction on the laws governing under-18 drivers and the dangers of teen driving. Without it, you cannot be licensed until you are 18.
Who can ride with me on a Connecticut learner’s permit?
Nobody except a parent, legal guardian, or a qualified trainer. That trainer must be at least 20 years old, have held a licence for four or more consecutive years, and have had no suspensions in those four years.
What are the passenger rules after I get my licence?
For the first six months, only a licensed driving instructor, your parents or guardian, or one qualifying person aged 20 or over. Immediate family members may be carried from months seven through twelve.
Is there a curfew for 16 and 17 year old drivers?
Yes. You may not drive between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. until your eighteenth birthday, with limited exceptions for employment, school, religious activities and medical necessity.
Can I use a hands-free phone while driving in Connecticut?
No. Drivers under 18 may not use a mobile phone or any mobile electronic device while driving, even hands-free. The rule applies on both the permit and the licence.
How many questions are on the Connecticut knowledge test?
The learner’s permit knowledge test has 25 questions, alongside a vision test. The practice tests on this page are organised by the same topic areas.
