    DMV DRIVER ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATES (DEC)

     

     
     

     HOW TO GET A DRIVER ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATE (DEC) 

     
    Registered Fuquay-Varina High School Students Only:
     
     
    Step 1 - The student's parent/guardian, or the student, will drop off the Certificate of Completion at the front desk.  
     
    Step 2 - The student's parent/guardian, or the student, will pick up the Certificate of Completion and the DEC at the end of the school day before 2:30pm. 
    *DEC's are issued with the current address WCPSS has on file for the student. If you have moved you will need to complete a school assignment form (2805) and provide a current gas, water or electricity bill in the parents/guardian's name. 

     

    Per NC Legislation, students are required to have passed 70% or 3 out of 4 classes last semester in order for a Driving Eligibility Certificate to be issued. 
    NC Legislation requires a student's permit be revoked if the student is unable to maintain adequate progress towards graduation (passing 70% of all courses as determined by first semester and second semester grades....not quarter grades) or if a student drops out of school.

    Home School/ Online School Students - If the student is enrolled in Home School or in a private school, you can follow this link for more information: https://ncadmin.nc.gov/divisions/non-public-education/student-driver-eligibility-certificates
     
    If you are the chief administrator of a North Carolina non-public school (home or conventional) which is registered with DNPE and meets all current North Carolina requirements for such a school, go to the main menu and request the DEC.

    After this information has been electronically recorded, the DECs will then be mailed via US mail within 2 business days.

    There is no DEC financial cost involved.

    Only one DEC is needed for each student.  Additional ones are not required as the student moves up through the various license levels.  A second DEC would be needed only after the student's license was revoked.
