Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Oregon'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 Oregon, driving schools are licensed through the Oregon DMV (ODOT).
- Search Oregon’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 (optional): an ODOT-approved course of 30 classroom hours, 6 hours behind the wheel, 6 hours of observation and 5 hours of supervised practice. It counts for 50 of the 100 supervised hours. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Oregon DMV (ODOT) before you enroll.
