Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Florida'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 Florida, driving schools are licensed through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
- Search Florida’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.
- First-time license applicants: a 4-hour Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course from an FLHSMV-approved provider. (source)
- Basic Driver Improvement (BDI): a 4-hour course used to avoid points for an eligible non-criminal moving violation. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) before you enroll.
