If you would like one, take a picture of or print a copy of your course completion receipt to bring with you to the licensing office.

Note: As you complete the certificate verification steps and Class E Knowledge Exam registration step, it is important that you double-check your social security number, the spelling of your name, your birthdate and any other information that you enter. If the information that you enter here does not match the other identifying documents (i.e. birth certificate, social security card etc.), your course completion certificate and Class E Knowledge Exam results will not be valid when you visit the licensing office, and you will have to retest in person or may be told that your DETS certificate or TLSAE is not on file in their system.

SEE IMAGES BELOW ON HOW TO CHECK THIS INFORMATION.

After confirming your information, you will proceed to take your Class E Knowledge Exam. Below, you will see a picture of what the screen Looks like before you take it.

Your Class E Knowledge Exam results are valid for 1 year. If you do not visit the licensing office to obtain your Learner's Driver License within 1 year of passing the online Class E Knowledge Exam, you will need to retake the exam person. You cannot retake the online version of the exam.

Link to the Florida Driver’s Handbook you will want to carefully review the handbook prior to taking your Class E Knowledge Exam. The handbook is available in English, Spanish and Kreol. The online version of the Class E Knowledge Exam is only available in English, if you choose to test in person at the licensing office you may request the test in another language.
