'''Vision Screening'''

Vision screening test measures the applicant's visual ability.

You must pass Indiana's minimum vision standards to get a license or permit, even if you are renewing your existing license or permit. In case an applicant does not meet state standards they will be referred to an eye doctor for an eye examination.

[http://www.in.gov/bmv/2717.htm Know more about vision screening]

'''Knowledge Examination'''

The knowledge examination is based on information contained in the Indiana driver's manual. To pass the knowledge examination, you must demonstrate a basic understanding of Indiana traffic laws and safe driving techniques. Knowledge examinations include multiple choice questions concerning traffic maneuvers and knowledge of types of traffic signs.

You do not need to schedule an appointment for a knowledge examination unless you need to have the test read to you. You must arrive at a license branch at least one hour before the branch closes in order to take the knowledge examination that day.

==Required Documents==
Applicants for a learner's permit must present documents of identification proving their identity, Social Security number, lawful status, and Indiana residency.

To those who are younger than 18 years of age and do not have two original documents proving their Indiana residency, you may instead submit an Indiana Residency Affidavit. The affidavit must be signed by an individual who is 18 years of age or older and with whom you reside. The individual signing an Indiana Residency Affidavit must present their unexpired Indiana drivers license or identification card, one document proving their identity, and two documents proving their Indiana residency. It is not necessary for individuals with an unexpired SecureID drivers license or identification card to provide these documents.
