Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met New York'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 New York, driving schools are licensed through the New York State DMV.
- Search New York’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.
- New drivers: a 5-hour pre-licensing course. Classroom and live distance courses issue form MV-278. (source)
- Point and Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP): a 320-minute defensive driving course. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the New York State DMV before you enroll.
