Upon successful completion of the classroom and behind-the-wheel portions of driv- er education through your local high school, the Secretary of State’s office will receive notification and add a notation to your driver’s license record. After successful com- pletion of a driving exam, you may be issued a Cooperative Driver Testing Certificate, which must be signed by the driver education instructor and the student’s parent/legal guardian. The certificate, which expires on the same day as the student’s current instruction permit and will not be extended, must be presented at any Driver Services facility at the time of driver’s license application. .
