  • Upon passing, the instructor will issue a temporary driver's license certificate (DTS-B) valid for 6 months/180 days.
    • This document along with the Learner's Permit, will serve as a full-fledged license to drive for the new driver.
    • The temporary driver's license (DTS-B) does not become valid unless a teenager is at least 16yrs and 3 months of age and has held a Learners Permit for 9 months
  • AA Driving Academy sends a copy of your certificate (DTS-B) to the DMV main office in Richmond, VA.
