Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Michigan'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.
In Michigan, driving schools are licensed through the Michigan Department of State.
- Search Michigan’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.
- Segment 1 (teens): at least 24 classroom hours, 6 hours behind the wheel and 4 hours of observation. (source)
- Segment 2: at least 6 more classroom hours after the Level 1 license. Both segments use Department-supplied certificates. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Michigan Department of State before you enroll.
