Students 15 years of age will be required by the BMV to present a Certificate of Enrollment or CDE before taking the test to earn their permit. While many schools may require you to jump through a series of hoops to get this paperwork, Drive Zone greatly values the additional practice time that becomes available to you once you have the permit. This is why we do not play games or try to micromanage when you can get your paperwork, we issue you the paperwork when you request it, putting you in the driver’s seat when it comes to earning your permit. Online schools are by law unable to issue a CDE at any time as of July 1st, 2019.
