What if I took drivers ed school out of state?

New Driver Checklist
That's a good question. Unfortunately, there isn't a single, definite answer that applies to all situations.

Each state's drivers license division has its own policy regarding out-of-state drivers education. So, if you're required to have completed a drivers ed school class as a condition of being granted your license, you'll need to check with your driver's license department about its policy.

Take heart, though, because most states will accept out-of-state drivers ed course credits. However, you will need to prove to your state that you passed the course, perhaps by showing your completion certification or a letter from the school. Your state may want to make sure, though, that you received a quality education, and investigate whether the school you attended meets their educational standards - including an acceptable number of hours - being accepting the course credits.

Did you take a driver ed online class? If so, that may simplify matters. Online providers offer courses in many states. So, for instance, if you moved from California to Ohio but took a California online state-approved class before you left, check to see if the online course provider is also on Ohio's list of approved schools.
