Minor School License

How to Get a Minor School License

  • The student must be at least 14 1/2 years old.
  • Complete an Iowa-approved driver education course.
  • Hold an instruction permit and a clean driving record for at least six consecutive months immediately before applying for your minor school license.
  • Live 1 mile or more from the school you are enrolled in, unless a special need exists. If you have more than one residence, where you live is the location you reside the majority of the time.
  • You must have your school principal AND your parent or guardian sign Affidavit for School License (form 430021). 
  • You may be required to complete a drive test at the driver’s license issuance site, if your driver’s education instructor requires it, or if you completed the Parent-Taught Driver’s Education Program (eligible homeschooled teens only).

Once the form is completed, schedule an appointment to bring in the completed form and get your minor school license issued.
