FAQs
Adult Driving School FAQs
All 18, 19, and 20-year-olds are required to complete a six-hour adult driver education course before obtaining an Illinois driver’s license — if the person has not previously held a driver’s license or successfully completed the classroom portion of a traditional driver education course.
Top Driver offers adult training programs starting at $49 with the 6-hour online driving course. For pricing on Behind-The-Wheel lessons and road test services, please call us at 1 (800) 374-8373.
To be eligible for in-car training, students must be at least 18 years old and have a valid Illinois Instruction Permit, Illinois Driver’s License, or a Driver’s License issued by your country of origin (international driver’s licenses are not accepted in Illinois). Out-of-country students may drive on their country-of-origin license for no more than 90 days after entering. If you do not have a permit, we recommend taking our 6-hour online course to prepare for the Written Permit Exam at the IL SOS.
No — adults (18+) are not required to take driving lessons to get a license. While it’s highly recommended for safety and skill development, it’s not a legal mandate for licensing at that age.
You’ll need: (1) Identification — U.S. passport, IL ID Card, or credit card; (2) Proof of birth — birth certificate, U.S. passport, or IL ID Card; (3) Proof of Social Security number; (4) Two proofs of residency (bank statements, utility bills, education transcripts); (5) Proof of vehicle insurance; (6) Payment for the appropriate fee; and (7) Your valid permit or driver’s license. For the most up-to-date list, visit ilsos.gov.
