OHIO EXCLUSIVE: This applies to any student who has registered for the 24-hour driver's ed course for Ohio but hasn't started the course yet.

Step 1: View the Dashboard

After you log in, you will be taken to your account dashboard, where you will see your course. Click the "Accept Terms" button beside your course. 

AlertNote: You will need your parent or guardian to assist you during the terms and ID verification process.


Step 2: View and Accept the Terms and Conditions

Where indicated on the screen, enter: 
  1. The date of birth for the student
  2. The student’s permit number (if one has been issued)
  3. The student’s name to acknowledge and accept the terms 
  4. The parent’s name to acknowledge and accept the terms 
  5. The parent’s driver’s license
Then, click the “Continue” button.

Step 3: Parent or Guardian ID Verification

Address

The name signed on the contract for the Parent will be listed on the Identity Verification Submission page.

  1. Enter the current mailing address for the parent who signed the contract. This will be used to validate the identity of the parent. 
  2.  Enter the mailing address for where the enrollment and completion certificates should be sent. If you registered through a driving school, be sure to select the option to have your certificates mailed directly to them. 



Residency

The parent/guardian will be asked if they have lived in the U.S. for more than 3 years. 



Parent Information

The parent/guardian will be prompted to enter their details. Once done, click "Process Validation." 



Step 4: Verify the Student's Address & Start the Course

If you are taken to your dashboard and it shows "Verify Address" then your Parent or Guardian ID Verification was successful. You just need to verify the student address to make sure that all of the details for the certificate and mailing are accurate for the student. Once you do that, you will be able to begin the course!
