How long is the Driver Education Certificate valid?
This certificate is valid as long as you need it. After getting your permit or driver license, file the certificate with your important papers for future use.
Driver Eligibility Certificate
As of August 1, 1998 persons less than 18 years of age applying for a permit or license must have this certificate. This certificate states that the student is passing at least five of six courses in a regular schedule, or three of four courses in a block schedule, and is currently enrolled in school.
The certificate may be picked up 48 hours after being dropped off at school. It is valid for 30 days, and then must be renewed if you do not obtain a learner’s permit within that time. There will be a $5 charge for each replacement eligibility certificate.
Where do I get my Driver Eligibility Certificate?
Each high school has a person assigned to issue this certificate. The lead teacher at each school will give students information regarding procedures for obtaining a Driver Eligibility Certificate at their school. Neither the lead Driver Education teacher, nor the instructors issue this certificate. Check with your Guidance Department or school secretary for the contact.
