Licensing is not a formality. It is how Massachusetts checks instructors, training cars and course content. If a school is not licensed, its lessons may not count toward a license or an insurance discount.
In Massachusetts, driving schools are licensed through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).
- Search Massachusetts’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.
