The Iowa Department of Transportation is expanding their “Skip the Trip” program that allows students to take the non-commercial driver’s knowledge test at approved educational sites.
In a news release Monday, the IDOT announced that now parents, guardians and legal custodians can proctor the test for their children from home using an electronic device connected to the Internet.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, services offered at driver’s license centers have been limited at least through the end of the month, and expanding the opportunity for new drivers to take the test will help to reduce the expected traffic at the centers once they’re fully reopened.
To apply to be a proctor, the adult must have a valid Iowa driver’s license and will need to complete and submit an application. The DOT will then send the parent and student an e-mail with instructions on how to take and administer the test, and email the test results to the student.
To get the application, go to www.iowadot.gov and search for form 431508 under the Forms tab.
