Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Oregon'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.

Verify before you pay

In Oregon, driving schools are licensed through the Oregon DMV (ODOT).

  1. Search Oregon’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
  2. Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
  3. Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
What Oregon requires
  • Teens (optional): an ODOT-approved course of 30 classroom hours, 6 hours behind the wheel, 6 hours of observation and 5 hours of supervised practice. It counts for 50 of the 100 supervised hours. (source)

Rules change, so confirm the details with the Oregon DMV (ODOT) before you enroll.

Five questions worth asking
  • What is your state license number, and does it match the state list?
  • Are all of your instructors licensed or certified?
  • What exactly is included: classroom hours, behind-the-wheel hours, road test help?
  • What is the total price and the refund policy, in writing?
  • Will I get a certificate of completion, and can my insurer verify it?

Walk away if a school will not give you a license number, or offers a certificate without the full training.
