Verification of Enrollment

Texas law requires individuals under 18 applying for a learner license or provisional driver license—who do not have a high school diploma or equivalent—to meet one of the following:

  • Be currently enrolled in public, private, or home school, with proof of attendance for the past 80 days
  • Be enrolled in a high school equivalency (GED) preparation program, with proof of attendance for the past 45 days

Verification of Enrollment (VOE) Form

The Verification of Enrollment (VOE) form must be signed by a school official (a stamped or computer-generated signature is acceptable). It is valid for 30 days, or 90 days if issued between June and August.

Summer Exception

If applying during summer and the student is still enrolled, the most recent report card may be used in place of the VOE form—provided it includes:

  • The student’s full name
  • A list of absences
  • A complete record of grades

Student Attendance and Grades Requirements

For Public, Private, Charter, and Home School Students

Students must meet one of the following:

  • Earn credit in all courses from the previous semester and meet the 90% attendance rule in each class
    OR
  • Meet conditions set by the school to qualify for verification

If a student did not receive credit or failed to meet the 90% attendance threshold:

  • The school may review attendance records from the most recent semester.
  • If the student attended at least 90% of classes, the VOE may still be issued.
  • If not, the school may develop a plan with specific conditions the student must meet to qualify.

For GED Program Students

Students must:

  • Be currently enrolled in the program
  • Have attended for at least 45 calendar days
  • Be meeting the program’s attendance requirements

For College or University Students

Students must:

  • Be currently enrolled
  • Be meeting the institution’s attendance requirements

Instead of a VOE form, the institution may provide an official letter stating both of the above, signed by a school official.

School Policy Recommendation

TDLR strongly encourages schools to establish a clear, published policy outlining all requirements for issuing a VOE form.
