Road Test Only or Add DPS Upload

You can book just the road test. You do not have to buy DPS upload. The test and upload have different rules. You may be able to take the test even if you cannot use upload.

After you pass, DPS still needs your test result to finish the license process.

With DPS Upload, we send your passing result to DPS online. Add it when you book and pay. You must meet the upload rules and pass the test to use it.

1. Choose DPS Upload During Purchase

Choose DPS Upload when you book and pay for your test. You must add it at that time.

2. Pass Your Road Test

Take the test in our included car. You may use your own car if it passes our check and meets the rules.

3. Drive Smart Submits Results

If you meet the upload rules, we send your passing result to DPS online. This may save you a trip just to turn in your test result.

DPS Upload is not available if the student is within 6 months of turning 18. DPS Upload and Impact Video service fees are non-refundable.

Upload does not mean DPS will issue your license. You must still meet DPS rules, pay state fees, show the right ID and papers, and finish the required Impact Texas Drivers video.
