Please allow 7–10 business days, and thank you for your patience!

Before you begin the process, make sure you have all the following items ready:

Driver License Numbers: You’ll need both the teaching parent’s and the student’s driver license numbers.

Proof of Course Completion: This is the student's completion certificate or final grade report as supplied by the course provider.

Driving Log: You must submit a completed driving log that includes:
- What driving skills were practiced on each session
- Any challenges the student had
- What improvements were made over time

Long Drive Times: If any driving session exceeds more than 2 hours, it’s recommended to split that time into separate 1-hour entries. This helps ensure that detailed notes are provided for each part of the drive.

No Driving Log? If you don’t have a clear or readable copy of your log to upload, you can fill one out during the online submission process.

Using the Road Ready App? Be aware that the app rounds up driving time. Parents should carefully review the log to confirm that the student has actually completed the full 30 hours of driving, including at least 3 hours of nighttime driving.

By continuing, I agree to complete a digital version of the document(s), and I understand that information about my user session will be stored. I also acknowledge that processing may take 7–10 business days.

Parent Taught Driver’s Ed Form

Are you the student’s parent/legal guardian?

Yes

Parent is a father or mother of a child, whether by birth or adoption
Guardian is a person who is not the parent of a child, but who has been appointed by a court having jurisdiction over the child, to have a permanent self-sustaining relationship with the child and to make important decisions which have a permanent effect on the life and development of that child and to promote the general welfare of that child. A guardian may be a court. “Guardian” does not mean conservator.
Legal Custodian is a stepparent or a relative within the fourth degree of consanguinity to a child who has assumed responsibility for that child, a person who has accepted a release of custody pursuant to Iowa Code 232 subchapter IV, or a person appointed by a court or juvenile court having jurisdiction over a child
