A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets North Carolina's standards for instructors, vehicles and lessons. Without it, the hours you pay for may not count, and your insurer may turn down the certificate.
In North Carolina, driving schools are licensed through the NC Division of Motor Vehicles.
- Search North Carolina’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.
