38-Hour Driver's Education Course

Service Description

All applicants must complete a driver's education course. The course offered for those applicants 15 to 17 years of age includes 30 hours of classroom and 8 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. All students enrolled in driver education must obtain a Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) before administering the knowledge test, operating a motor vehicle during on-road driving skills instruction, or an on-road driving skills test. In addition, the student must have the TIP in their possession when operating a motor vehicle during the behind-the-wheel portion of instruction and the administration of a road skills test. The Temporary Instructional Permit can be issued to anyone 14 years of age and above. Upon completion of the driver’s education, the TIP will be surrendered to OMV as proof of completion of the driver’s education course and any other necessary documents. There is no additional cost to convert from the TIP to a Learner’s Permit or a full license. GRADUATED LICENSE PROGRAM - All applicants ages 15 and 16 must participate in the graduated licensing program and start with a learner’s permit. The applicant can drive with a licensed parent, guardian, or adult of at least 21 or a licensed sibling of at least 18 years. The applicant must also pass a vision and knowledge test.
