Taking the online written driving test in NB

Service New Brunswick (SNB) runs an online written driving test in NB for a Class 7 Level 1 learner’s licence, a motorcycle licence or a moped licence. It replaces the in-person test, so you pick one or the other. Once you’ve paid online you get an access code, and you can save it and take the test later.

Which written driving tests can you take online in NB?

The written tests for a Class 7 Level 1 licence (the testing page calls it the Class 7.1 learner’s permit), a motorcycle licence and a moped licence. Written tests for commercial classes 1 to 4, and the air brake exam, are in person only.

Road tests are never online.

How do you pay for the online test?

There’s a fee whether you test online or in person. Online, you can pay with:

  • A credit card: Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover
  • A Visa or MasterCard debit card
  • Interac Online, for TD Canada Trust accounts only

When the payment goes through, you get an access code for the test. You can keep it and use it later.

After you pass online

Wait at least four business days before you go to an SNB office. The Campobello office is the one exception. At the office you take the vision test and show the same documents as for an in-person test, plus proof of your motorcycle course if you’re applying for a motorcycle licence.
