The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced that any customer in need of an appointment for a skills test, including motorcycle skills tests, may now schedule online by visiting dmv.pa.gov or by contacting the PennDOT Driver and Vehicle Services Call Center at 717-412-5300.
The skills test has been modified to mitigate potential exposure of PennDOT staff and customers while maintaining the integrity of the testing process.
The following enhanced safety measures for non-commercial skills tests will continue and the following safety protocols will be in place:
– PennDOT staff will remain outside the vehicle during the entire skills test; the test taker and accompanying driver will remain in the vehicle
– In yellow phase counties, examiner will conduct basic health pre-screening of applicant; if applicant is displaying any COVID-19 symptoms, test will not be administered; there will be no pre-screening for customers in green counties
– All customers and accompanying drivers must wear appropriate face masks during testing
– Examiners will be required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves and eye protection during the exam
– Examiners will utilize iPads during the administration of testing, which will be routinely disinfected using wipes or spray sanitizer
PennDOT-Authorized Third Party Testers are also available for non-commercial testing. For a list of PennDOT Authorized Third Party Vendors, click here.
