Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met North Dakota'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 North Dakota, driving schools are licensed through the NDDOT Drivers License Division.
- Search North Dakota’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.
- Class D students: 30 classroom hours plus at least 6 hours behind the wheel. Observation time does not count toward the 6. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the NDDOT Drivers License Division before you enroll.
