Ready to Start the NY 5-Hour Online Pre-Licensing Course?
Registering for the official New York DMV 5-Hour Online Pre-Licensing Course is quick, straightforward, and fully secure. This course is designed for adults aged 18 and older who hold a valid New York learner permit with a photo. You can register in just a few minutes, pay online, and start learning on your own schedule.
Whether you're trying to schedule your road test or just beginning the licensing process, we make it easy to take the next step.
Before you start the registration process, make sure you have the following ready:
A valid New York State photo learner permit
Your full legal name as it appears on your permit
A valid email address where we’ll send your login details
A secure payment method
(credit/debit card or PayPal)
If your permit does not yet include a photo, you’ll need to wait until it arrives in the mail to register. The NYSDMV requires that the permit used to verify your identity includes your photograph.
