费用
如果你刚到美国
你需要的文件
你的社会安全号码
提供你的号码，以及谁可以看到它
SSN 要求适用于每一次许可证、驾照或 ID 的申请，包括补办和续期；登记局（Registry）会将你提供的号码与社会安全署（Social Security Administration）的记录核对。11
你要参加的考试
视力检查
除非法规另有要求，你可以提交由验光师或眼科医生签署、显示你达到最低视力标准的视力筛查证明，来代替登记局(RMV)自己的视力检查。证明上的电子签名可以被接受。12
路考
如果你的外州驾照已过期超过 1 年，你必须通过完整考试（笔试和路考）和视力检查。如果驾照仍有效或过期不满 1 年，则不需要笔试或路考。8
笔试的考试次数
如果学习许可考试未通过，你可以再次预约，在 RMV 服务中心重考。5
持学习许可练车
路考要带什么
谁陪你去
随车陪同你的驾校担保人必须持有有效的职业驾驶教练证书和驾照。复印件不被接受。26
车辆及其保险
考试前会先检查车辆。车辆必须运转状况良好并通过安全检查，有有效注册和当前年检贴，司机旁要有供考官乘坐的座位、后排要有供担保人乘坐的座位，并且考官能用驻车制动器做紧急停车(不能是没有驻车制动器的中控台，也不能有任何东西妨碍考官够到它)。29
如果车辆在另一个州注册，须向考官出示不低于马萨诸塞州最低限额的保险证明：人身伤害 $25,000/$50,000，财产损失 $30,000。列明保额限额的保单或证明文件都算作证明。30
驾校的考试车辆必须带有 540 CMR 23.05 要求的全部标识、识别标记、有效注册和有效年检贴。缺少这些，考试会被取消，Alternative Program 的费用不予退还。31
考试所用机动车应能代表你正在驾驶或预计驾驶的车型。32
Class D 路考需要自带车辆(Class M 考试自带摩托车)，并且车辆必须符合 RMV 的要求。被要求使用点火联锁装置或适应性设备的申请人，必须在装有该设备的车辆上考试。33
Class D 考试车辆必须安全、运转正常、按规定完成年检和注册(注册文件要出示给考官)，你旁边要有考官的座位、你身后要有担保人的座位，并配有考官在紧急停车时能够够到且工作正常的驻车制动器；考官认为不安全的车辆会导致考试取消。34
驻车制动器在紧急情况下是否够得到由考官判断；请带驻车制动器位于中间位置的车辆，或在考试前一个工作日把车开到考试地点询问。一些较大的车辆(如小型面包车)可能被拒，如果考试仅因考官够不到制动器而中止，则不收费。35
驻车制动器必须工作正常，考官会依据 540 CMR 4.04(4) 在路考前进行测试；驾校车辆还必须为教练或考官配备第二脚刹，并有规定的标识。36
挂经销商牌照的车辆，只有当你向考官证明自己是经销商本人、经销商配偶或该经销店的销售人员时才能使用；挂农用牌照的车辆，只有当你证明自己是该农场主的家庭成员或雇员时才能使用，而且必须是有合格后座的皮卡而不是乘用车；挂维修牌照的车辆一律不允许。37
