How Does DIP Work?
Step 1: Receiving Notification
If you are required to attend DIP, you will receive a letter from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). This letter will provide detailed instructions and a list of approved DIP providers in your area. It is your responsibility to contact one of these providers to gather information about class locations, dates, times, and fees.
Step 2: Completing the Online Portion
Our program offers an online-only course. However, individuals under 18 are not eligible to take online courses. Once you complete the online portion, you must schedule an appointment to take the final exam.
Step 3: Scheduling the Final Exam After completing the online course, you must schedule your exam at our Owings Mills office. Testing is available by appointment only, typically from Tuesday to Friday, between 12 PM and 3:30 PM. To schedule, you will need:
- A valid photo ID
- Your printed certificate of online completion
- Payment of $100 (credit card only
The final exam consists of 20 questions and must be completed in person.
Step 4: Completing the Program
Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate is vital for your records. The program provider will also notify the MVA on your behalf to confirm your compliance.
Important Notes
- Timely Completion: You must complete the DIP by the date specified in your referral letter. Failure to do so may result in further penalties or loss of your license.
- Rescheduling:If you cannot attend a class or exam on the designated date, you must contact the MVA with a valid reason. If accepted, you will be allowed to reschedule.
Why Take DIP?
Participating in the Maryland Driver Improvement Program helps you regain control over your driving privileges and demonstrates a commitment to responsible driving. Completing this program can be the first step toward a safer and more independent life on the road.
