What You Need Before Checking Your Results
Before you begin, there are a few things you’ll need:
- SPID credentials (Public Digital Identity System) or existing login details.

- Access to the Portale dell’Automobilista website.
If you don’t have SPID credentials yet, you can easily create them by following a few simple steps (more on that later).
How to Check Driver’s License Exam Results Online
Step 1: Access the Portal
First, open your internet browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) and go to the Portale dell’Automobilista website. Once you’re there, you’ll see an option to log in.
Step 2: Log In
- If you already have an account, enter your username and password.
- If you’re a new user, select the SPID login option. You’ll be prompted to choose your SPID provider, such as PosteID or TIM ID, and log in using your SPID credentials.
Step 3: Verify Your Profile
Once logged in, navigate to your profile. Check that your email address is correct, as your results will be sent to this address. If needed, you can update the email and save changes.
Step 4: Request Your Results
Now it’s time to request your exam results. In the sidebar menu, click on Accesso ai servizi and select Scheda esame patente (driver’s license exam sheet). Enter the date of your exam and submit the request. You’ll see a confirmation message indicating that the request has been received successfully.
Step 5: Download Your Exam Sheet
Within minutes, an email will arrive in your inbox with a PDF attachment containing your exam sheet. Click on the download link, open the PDF, and you’ll be able to see your score along with any mistakes you made during the exam.
Understanding Your Exam Results
Once you’ve opened the PDF, here’s what you’ll find:
- Total Correct Answers: This section shows how many questions you got right.
- Errors Made: If you missed any questions, they’ll be detailed here, so you know where you went wrong.
- Final Result: Whether you passed or need to retake the exam.
What to Do If You Don’t Receive the Results
If you don’t receive the results within a reasonable time, you can download them directly from the Portale dell’Automobilista. Navigate to the Lista richieste section on the same portal, where all of your past requests are stored. Look for the PDF file associated with your exam and download it again.
Can You Check the Results from a Smartphone?
Unfortunately, the iPatente app (the official mobile app for the portal) does not yet support viewing exam results. However, you can still access the portal from your smartphone’s web browser and follow the same steps as on a computer.
How to Create SPID Credentials
If you don’t have SPID credentials, here’s a brief guide to setting them up:
- Choose a Provider: Select a SPID provider like PosteID, IntesaID, or TIM ID.
- Register: Follow the registration steps on the provider’s website.
- Confirm Your Identity: You’ll need to confirm your identity, usually through a video call, at a physical post office, or by using an electronic ID card.
- Complete the Setup: Once verified, you can use your SPID to log into the Portale dell’Automobilista.
