A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets California'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 California, driving schools are licensed through the California DMV (Occupational Licensing).
- Search California’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 driver education (classroom or a DMV-approved online course), recorded on DMV form DL 400B or DL 400C. (source)
- Then at least 6 hours behind the wheel with a licensed driving school or independent instructor, recorded on form DL 400D, plus 50 hours of supervised practice (10 at night). (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the California DMV (Occupational Licensing) before you enroll.
