Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Maine'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.

Is the school licensed? Check it in two minutes

In Maine, driving schools are licensed through the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

  1. Search Maine’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.
What Maine requires
  • Teens under 18: 30 classroom hours plus 10 hours behind the wheel, with a course completion certificate provided by the Secretary of State. (source)

Rules change, so confirm the details with the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles before you enroll.

Questions to ask a driving school
  • What is your state license number, and does it match the state list?
  • Are all of your instructors licensed or certified?
  • What exactly is included: classroom hours, behind-the-wheel hours, road test help?
  • What is the total price and the refund policy, in writing?
  • Will I get a certificate of completion, and can my insurer verify it?

Walk away if a school will not give you a license number, or offers a certificate without the full training.
