Navigating the New Norm: Blue Ridge Driving School's DMV Paperwork Processing - What You Need to Know

As we adapt to new routines, getting a driver's license has become simpler at Blue Ridge Driving School. Students can now process their DMV paperwork directly through the school, making the experience more user-friendly. This guide walks you through the two-part process required to get your license and provides essential information you should know as you begin this journey.


Understanding the Two-Part Process


The first step in processing your DMV paperwork at Blue Ridge Driving School is to complete either the DL14A or DL14B form. This form is a key document for your application. You can find these forms easily on the DMV website or ask the friendly staff at Blue Ridge Driving School for assistance.


Once you fill out the form, submit it along with any other necessary documents to Blue Ridge. The school will upload these materials to the DMV for you. However, be aware that your application will enter a pending stage. Currently, the DMV has not provided a set timeframe for how long this processing will take.


For instance, areas with larger populations may see longer wait times compared to smaller communities. The DMV has not listed the average time frame yet!

What Happens During the Pending Process


After your paperwork is uploaded, it will be in a pending status until the DMV processes your documents. Patience is crucial during this time, as the timeline for approval can vary significantly.


While your application is pending, Blue Ridge Driving School will keep you informed about the status of your paperwork. Once we receive confirmation of approval, we will promptly notify you via email or phone. This communication is vital as it prepares you for the next steps in securing your driver's license.


For example, if your paperwork is approved, you’ll want to create your account to finish the process.


Final Steps to Secure Your Driver's License


After you receive notification that your application is approved, the next step is to create an account on the DMV website. Doing this allows you to complete the remaining aspects of your license processing from the comfort of home.


Once your account is set up, you'll need to finalize your application and pay about $16 for your license. The fee of $30 is part of pairing your application process with the services provided by Blue Ridge Driving School.
