You will need to be 16 years of age to apply for your Prince Edward Island instruction permit to drive, also known as a Class 7 Stage 1 driver’s licence. In order to receive this licence, you will need to pass a multiple-choice written or oral exam, available in several languages, which is based entirely on information contained in the 2024 Prince Edward Island Driver’s Handbook. The test will also include road sign recognition. You are required to pay a $20 fee to take the exam, and if you do not pass, you will need to wait at least seven days to retake it. If you do pass, you will need to pay $20 for your instruction permit. In addition to passing the written test, you’ll need to pass a vision test and bring proof of your residence and identity, as well as a form of parental permission if you are under 18 years of age. Once you have your instruction permit, you will need to start preparing to get your full licence, including taking an approved Novice Driver course, which will cost $100. Once you’ve taken the course, you’ll need to pass a road test before you can get your full class 5 licence. If you pass the road test, you can then pay a $20 fee and get your full driver’s licence. When it’s time to prepare for your written instruction permit test, taking practice tests like this can prepare you, as they cover the same information you’ll find on the official exam.
