Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Arizona'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 Arizona, driving schools are licensed through the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division.
- Search Arizona’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: driver education is optional. Finishing an ADOT-approved program can take the place of the 30 hours (10 at night) of parent-certified practice driving. (source)
- Defensive driving: court defensive driving courses run 240 to 270 minutes and can be used for an eligible civil traffic violation once every 12 months. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division before you enroll.
