Message to the parent
Hi Kim,

Thank you for sending Kelly's birth certificate copy and dropping off the signed enrollment agreement. Here is what we still need before Kelly's first lesson on March 14 with Keith Suarez:

  • Your signature on the consent section of the permit application
  • A second proof of residency (we have one utility bill so far)
  • Kelly's vision screening form
  • Kelly's social security card, if you have it with you. We did not see it yet.
  • Our emergency contact card
  • The $100 deposit, due before the first lesson
  • The $35 permit fee, paid to the state when you apply

Our records say Kelly needs her permit in hand at the first behind-the-wheel lesson. Please also check the state's current requirements with the state licensing agency, since forms and rules can change. You can reach our office at 267-555-0180.

Questions for the owner

  • Did you see Kim's social security card, or should we ask her to bring it?
  • Does the family drop the deposit and emergency card at the office, or can they send them another way?
  • Do you want the message to name a deadline for getting the permit, or leave it as "in hand by the first lesson"?

What it does

Turns your notes on a state's permit and parent consent requirements, plus what a family has already handed in, into a clear checklist and a short message to the parent. It shows what is received, what is still needed, and who needs to provide it.

Use it when: Use when a driving school needs a parent consent and permit paperwork checklist for a student, based on the school's own notes for that state, such as "what paperwork does this family still need," "permit checklist for a new student," or "write the parent a list of what to bring."
