How many days does it take for the DMV to approve after enrolling in a driving school?

After enrolling in a driving school, the DMV approval process generally takes only about two days to a week. Here is additional information: Materials required for the medical examination: For the driving test medical checkup, you only need to bring your ID card; no other documents are required. Medical examination is necessary when enrolling in a driving school: Normally, the driving school will arrange for you to go to a specialized medical examination center, which is relatively more convenient. Alternatively, the medical examination may be conducted at the DMV, or some driving schools may provide a specific medical examination form for you to complete at a qualified hospital. If a driving school does not require a medical examination for enrolling in a driving test, this is clearly a violation of regulations.
I've been instructing students at the driving school for many years. The DMV review usually takes 3 to 7 working days to complete. During peak periods like summer vacation when there are many applicants, it may take over 5 days. When submitting materials, make sure the ID card and medical examination report are complete and correct to avoid rejection and delays. For example, last year one of my students had a missing signature on the materials and had to wait a whole week for approval. If the materials are complete, it can be done in three or four days. The DMV requires manual verification of information, and the process is faster when the system is stable; it may be slower after holidays, so remember to keep your phone on to receive SMS notifications. Don't worry, just wait patiently for a few days to check the status. You can easily track the progress by downloading the official APP. Once approved, the Theory Test (Subject 1) will be arranged immediately, and I look forward to the students quickly getting started with their learning.
