How do I get my temporary permit?
Once you are 15 years and 5 months old, you can go to an examination station. You will need to take documentation of your legal name, birth date, social security number and proof of residency. At the examination station, you will take a vision and a written examination. You will also answer questions about your physical health and any medical conditions you may have. Once you pass these, you need to go to the local Deputy Registrar. You will need to take the same documentation of your legal name, birth date, social security number and proof of residency you needed at the examination station. If you are under 18 years of age, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, or person having legal custody. The co-signer must also take documentary proof of his or her identification. Once the temporary permit is issued, you will be able to practice driving but only if you are accompanied by a licensed driver in the seat next to you.

What happens if I miss a classroom lesson?
Missing a classroom session is not a big deal. You will need to make up the session you missed at a later date. We offer multiple locations to best facilitate this for you. If you are not sure which lesson you missed, we will be happy to help you gather that information.

How do I schedule driving hours?
We schedule driving hours based on the order in which our students call to schedule a lesson. Before any lessons may be scheduled, you will need to have attended at least one classroom session and have paid in full for the class. Once these requirements are fulfilled, you will be added to our "queue" of students to call back, by leaving a detailed message on extension 14 for our scheduler. If you miss our call to schedule, please let us know you are returning the scheduler's call so that you do not have to wait again.

If you know in advance that a previously schedule lesson no longer fits into your schedule, you can alter it without penalty if you contact us 24 hours in advance or Friday by 5:00pm if your lesson is scheduled after 5:00pm on Saturday or anytime on Sunday or Monday.
