INSTRUCTION PERMIT INFORMATION
Per Idaho law, a permit is required to take Driver's Education. The student must be at least 14.5 years old to obtain an Instruction Permit at the DMV. The student will not have to take any tests at the DMV to secure their permit. They will just have to pay the required amount to the DMV for their permit.
To obtain the Instruction Permit from the DMV, the parent and student will need to bring the following to the DMV (It is easier if you schedule an appointment):
- Verification of Compliance form/letter. Request this form from the front office of your student's high school. (during the summer the district office has them also). The letter of compliance must be dated within 60 days when you take it into the DMV. Home-schooled students will need their parent to sign an affidavit at the DMV.
- State Certified Birth Certificate (photocopy is not accepted)
- Qualifying photo (student activity card, yearbook photo or state identification card)
- Social Security Card (or just the number)
- A parent or legal guardian's ID. Guardian must provide court-ordered guardianship documents or Power of Attorney documents acceptable to the requirements of the Idaho Transportation Department.
- Must be able to advise the DMV where your student will be taking driver's education - such as Phillips Driving School
The DMV will mail the Instruction Permit to Phillips Driving School. You will receive a receipt for payment. Upon successful completion of the required 30 hours of coursework and the behind-the-wheel instruction, the permit will be given to the student so they can start driving with their parents/guardians.
