About the Maine DMV Permit exam
The Maine DMV Permit exam is administered by the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Like every state, Maine adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- Exam / licence fee: approximately $35.
- Maine requires 70 hours of supervised driving (10 at night) for applicants under 18 — the highest requirement nationally; the permit period is 9 months.
