A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets New Hampshire's standards for instructors, vehicles and lessons. Without it, the hours you pay for may not count, and your insurer may turn down the certificate.
In New Hampshire, driving schools are licensed through the NH DMV Driver Education Office.
- Search New Hampshire’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
