Official Sources

Verified July 2026

PermitPal is not a government app. It is an independent study aid published by Genesis One and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any state department of motor vehicles or any government agency. We do not issue licenses, permits or any government service.

Every question in PermitPal is written from the official driver handbook published by the state that gives the test, and each question cites its source in the explanation. Those handbooks are listed below, linked directly to the government agency that publishes them, so you can check anything we say against the original.

Coverage: 50 state driver manuals, 50 commercial (CDL) manuals and 46 motorcycle manuals. Where a manual reads "not published", that state does not publish its own for that vehicle class.

Notes

• Commercial (CDL) knowledge tests follow federal standards set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which each state then publishes in its own CDL manual.
• Links point to the agency's own page or PDF. Agencies reorganise their sites without notice, so if one has moved, tell us and we will correct it.
• Rules change. We re-verify content against the current published manual and update the app over the air, but the manual linked here is always the authority, not us.
