Local tips
Grand Manan's driver examination office is in the Grand Manan Provincial Building at 582 Route 776. Service New Brunswick lists exam hours as weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with road tests by appointment, so book ahead. You'll need the vehicle you plan to test in on the island. Route 776 is the main road along the island, posted at 80 km/h outside the villages. There are no traffic lights, and bridges on Route 776 and Cedar Street are about a kilometre away. Our 41.2 km practice route uses Dock Road and Hill Road to reach Route 776, follows the highway, and returns by Hill Road and Cedar Street. It drives much of Route 776 more than once. Practice holding a steady 80 km/h, slowing early for the village speed zones, and watching for pedestrians, cyclists and slow vehicles on the shoulder. In fog or rain, use your low-beam headlights and leave extra following distance.
Common questions
Grand Manan road test FAQ
What are the hours at Grand Manan?
Service New Brunswick lists: Mon–Fri 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Road tests by appointment. Offices close on statutory holidays, so check snb.ca before you go.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Service New Brunswick's Driver Examination Online Booking Service (linked from gnb.ca's Driver licence testing page), or call TeleServices at 1-888-762-8600 (Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.). The road test fee is $25 plus HST for each attempt, and you can take the test in English or French.
What do I need to bring?
A licensed driver with at least three years of experience and a valid Class 5 (or equivalent) licence to come with you, your valid learner's permit, a signed and valid vehicle registration, proof of valid insurance for the vehicle, your driving school certificate if you have one, and proof of payment for the test. Bring paper copies; only the proof of insurance can be digital. If anything is missing, you'll be turned away.
How long do I need my learner's licence first, and what if I fail?
New drivers take this road test to move from Class 7 Level 1 (learner) to Level 2. You must have held Level 1 for at least one year, or eight months if you completed a recognized driver education course (green certificate required). The wait is waived if you've been fully licensed before. If you don't pass, you book and pay for another attempt.
