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

How to check a Indiana driving school's license

In Indiana, driving schools are licensed through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).

  1. Search Indiana’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 Indiana requires
  • Teens: 30 hours of classroom or online instruction plus 6 hours behind the wheel with a BMV-licensed school. (source)

Rules change, so confirm the details with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) before you enroll.

  • 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.
