Student Driver Information
Driver's Permit
-
A Compulsory Attendance letter is required as proof of school attendance when a student applies for their driver’s permit.
If the student already has a driver’s permit that is issued in the state of Tennessee and it has not expired, they will not need this letter to take the driver’s license test or to renew a permit (the state already has a letter on file from when the student initially took their permit test).
If the student has a license or permit from another state, or their Tennessee permit is expired, they will need this letter.
Please do not make the request on the day of your appointment. Letters can not be emailed or faxed and we will not fax a letter to the Driver's License Facility.
