When they turn 15!

Most students love the MVP package. It includes the Basic Drivers Education course (10hours of class/6 hours of driving) PLUS on the day of the drive test we will pick the student up, drive for an extra 2 hours to review, give the drive test in a Merkley's car and bring them back home with their license.

The supreme has a 45-1hour test prep meeting at the office with drop off after, and the MVP includes closer to a two hour test prep with pick up and drop off.

No! Add a drive test for $40 and then go straight to the Tag Agency to get your license printed.

First: Make an appointment for the Written Test to avoid lines 2 MONTH ahead of time: https://okdpsweb2.cxmflow.com/WebAppt/Wizard/Services (Even if you have the golden ticket). When making the appointment on DPS Website... click "Other" and Selection A.

Take:
- 2 forms of ID (Birth Certificate or Passport for one of them)
