DMV now requires pre-registration before any classes or other services. We ask that you go through these steps at home prior to class to prevent missing material or extending the class. It may help to read through the process once before beginning. This is an important process and we NEED the pre-reg number in the last step to credit you for the class.
Any of this information can be updated @ DMV when you go for your permit. It is not written in stone.
