*Payments made with a credit/debit card in person or over the phone are subject to a 3.5% service fee per transaction.

Upon receipt of the returned check, the issuer will be notified and informed they have ten days to make *restitution, including a $35.00 NFS fee, to prevent any further collection activity. Returned checks, along with the state’s maximum allowable returned check fee, may be electronically presented to your bank. There will be a hold will be placed on the individual or his or her child’s certificate. Payment for a returned check must be received in the form of cash, cashier’s check, or money order. A personal check will not be accepted as repayment for a returned check. Returned checks that are not paid may be filed with the Louisiana District Attorney’s Office.

Deposits are nonrefundable. Any person who has submitted a payment in full and wishes to cancel a reservation will receive the total amount minus the $100.00 deposit in the form of a check. Refunds will only be provided prior to the start of class on the first day. Once a student has attended the first day of class, a refund will no longer be granted. If a student does not attend on the first day of class, he or she will not be given a refund, but will be allowed to reschedule to a different class upon approval of the school if there are vacancies.

If a parent decides to have the driving portion completed at a different driving school due to the wait time being longer than expected but not exceeding our deadline given by the State of Louisiana then we can furnish the paperwork to do so. However, the parent will not be given a credit or refund.

A full refund will only be issued if a student has been instructed or trained by an unlicensed driving instructor.

A temporary instruction permit (TIP) is similar to a Louisiana State Identification Card as it is a form of legal identification but it also allows for an individual to participate in a Louisiana approved driver’s education school. Without the TIP card, a person will not be allowed to sit in on any classroom or behind-the-wheel driving instruction.

The temporary instruction permit is only available at the Office of Motor Vehicles throughout Louisiana and NOT through an Express or TAG office.

All minors must present the following identification:

1. A certified birth certificate or an unexpired United States passport
2. Verification of your Social Security number
3. Certificate of required attendance from the school attending or enrolled.
4. A custodial parent or legal guardian must sign the application. The parent must present identification and court documentation of domiciliary status if divorced and legal guardians also must present legal documentation verifying the guardianship.
5. Two proofs of residency for parent / legal guardian
6. Proof of auto insurance for parent / legal guardian
7. Office of Motor Vehicles fee (roughly $36-39)

All adults must present the following identification:

Public, Private or Charter School Program

A school enrollment form is a verification certificate that is required by the Office of Motor Vehicles for all minors that indicates he or she is currently attending or is enrolled in junior high or high school.

Every junior high and high school is different, but typically the enrollment form can be obtained from the school’s front office or from the guidance counselor.

As of now, any student attending Walker High School can request the enrollment form online by visiting: Walker High School’s Online Enrollment Form Request.

*If other high schools within the area open an online request for the enrollment form then we will add those schools to this section.

Homeschool or Home Study Program

If the child is homeschooled then he or she will need the registered nonpublic school confirmation letter as well as an enrollment form which can be found by visiting: Homeschool or Home Study Program Enrollment Form.
