  • Driver training schools cannot issue an adult waiver to a person who has previously held a driver's license. This includes foreign licenses.


  • The student must have a Virginia learner's permit.


  • If a person has previously held a license and the license is revoked and they are now required to take the knowledge and road test, that person cannot obtain an adult waiver.


  • Out-of-state classroom completion cannot be accepted for an adult waiver.


  • If a person attempted the DMV road test three times, that person cannot obtain an adult waiver.
