Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met New Hampshire'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 Hampshire, driving schools are licensed through the NH DMV Driver Education Office.
- Search New Hampshire’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.
