Licensing is not a formality. It is how Virginia 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 Virginia, driving schools are licensed through the Virginia DMV.
- Search Virginia’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.
- Under 18: 36 classroom periods plus 7 driving and 7 observation periods (50 minutes each), recorded on form DTS-B. Passing the final road skills test waives the DMV skills test. (source)
- Driver improvement: an 8-hour course (court-ordered, DMV-required or voluntary). (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Virginia DMV before you enroll.
