The "blue Slip" is a letter from the Secretary of State showing that you have successfully passed Drivers Education. Prior to December 2000, this "Proof of Completion"was printed on blue paper with blue ink. This letter is still referred as the "blue slip". You must show this "blue slip" letter to the Drivers License Examiner in order to take your road test and obtain your license.

It typically takes about two weeks after classroom and Behind -The-Wheel Requirements are met to receive the "blue slip", but allow extra time during the summer months.

Although the "blue slip" is a computer generated letter that is sent once a student's information is entered into the computer, the Secretary of State often check to see if a student's name is in their computer because so many students show up without this letter. Therefore, if you lose your "blue slip", you will need to inform the person you talk with at the Secretary of States Office about the lost "blue slip"letter before going into their office.

Drive Home Safe Driving School can enroll 35 students per class and does not want to turn away students who are looking to enroll when space is available. It can be difficult for a student who has been informed the class is full to find another class that meets his or her schedule; it can be difficult for Drive Home Safe to fill the opening due to a late cancellation. A non-refundable registration fee reduces the number of late cancellations by requiring a greater commitment to a specific class prior to registering.
