Therefore, all students taking driver education through Columbia City High School will need to take the written and driving exams at your local license branch to receive their operator's license. The written exam can be taken anytime after their 16th birthday. The driving exam must be scheduled in advance with the license branch. Remember to take the signed and stamped driver education learner permit to the license branch. This proves you have completed driver education. Students need to verify their social security number while at the license branch.
