A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets Arizona'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.

How to check a Arizona driving school's license

In Arizona, driving schools are licensed through the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division.

  1. Search Arizona’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
  2. Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
  3. Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
The Arizona requirements in brief
  • 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.

Before you sign up, ask these
  • What is your state license number, and does it match the state list?
  • Are all of your instructors licensed or certified?
  • What exactly is included: classroom hours, behind-the-wheel hours, road test help?
  • What is the total price and the refund policy, in writing?
  • Will I get a certificate of completion, and can my insurer verify it?

Walk away if a school will not give you a license number, or offers a certificate without the full training.
