A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets Minnesota's standards for instructors, vehicles and lessons. Without it, the hours you pay for may not count, and your insurer may turn down the certificate.
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.
