Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Oregon's rules for instructors, cars and course content. Training from an unlicensed business may not count toward a license, and an insurer may not accept its certificate for a discount.

Verify before you pay

In Oregon, driving schools are licensed through the Oregon DMV (ODOT).

  1. Search Oregon’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
  2. Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
  3. Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
The Oregon requirements in brief
  • Teens (optional): an ODOT-approved course of 30 classroom hours, 6 hours behind the wheel, 6 hours of observation and 5 hours of supervised practice. It counts for 50 of the 100 supervised hours. (source)

Rules change, so confirm the details with the Oregon DMV (ODOT) before you enroll.
