Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Minnesota'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 Minnesota, driving schools are licensed through Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS).
- Search Minnesota’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.
- Teens under 18: 30 hours of classroom (the electronic “blue card”) before the permit knowledge test. (source)
- Plus 6 hours behind the wheel (the “white card”), needed for the road test. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) before you enroll.
