How the waiver works in Arizona
A qualifying training program lets eligible students complete their final driving evaluation with an authorized third-party examiner. Instead of taking a separate MVD road test appointment, you finish your requirements through DVDS and use your waiver documentation for licensing.
Who qualifies for a road test waiver with DVDS?
Students enrolled in our waiver-eligible programs who complete all required lesson milestones and pass final evaluation can receive waiver paperwork. Our team will confirm permit status and package fit before booking.
