Interpreters
If the knowledge test is not available in your native language you may use an interpreter obtained by the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) via state contract. You may request at time of your Permit appointment and MVC will arrange to secure an interpreter in your native language and pay the appropriate fees. Appointments with an interpreter are typically scheduled within four to six weeks.
