The Class D knowledge test is available in English and 13 other languages.
You can select a listed language at the office. If your language is not on the list, you must request an interpreter in advance.
If your language isn't listed, request an interpreter through the Limited English Proficiency Plan. Contact your local Driver License Division office at least two weeks before your test date.
An applicant whose language is not on the standard list may need to arrange an approved interpreter in advance.
