A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets Delaware'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 Delaware, driving schools are licensed through the Delaware DMV.
- Search Delaware’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.
