Mississippi Class R License Documents: What to Bring Without a Road Test

Mississippi is not currently giving a regular Class R road skills test, so this checklist is for the Class R license-issuance transaction rather than a road-test appointment. The exact documents depend on age and the applicant's situation.

What documents must you bring to your Mississippi Class R license appointment?

What documents do I need for a Mississippi Class R license if there is no road test?

Bring the current Class R licensing documents that apply to your age and situation. That can include the Application for Mississippi Driver License/ID, identity and Social Security proof, current residency documents, the School Attendance Form when required, and the Road Test Waiver Affidavit when it applies.

The Class R transaction focuses on document verification and license issuance rather than a regular skills road test. Keep the full identity/residency checklist on the dedicated Required Documents page; this page highlights the items that change by age.

Use the current Application for Mississippi Driver License/ID rather than relying on legacy form numbers.

Identity and Residency Proof Requirements for Mississippi License Upgrade

Bring the current identity and Mississippi residency documents required for your transaction. Two proofs of Mississippi domicile generally must be current within the timeframe stated by DSB.

• Social Security proof: A Social Security card is accepted, but it is not the only option; DSB also allows official government correspondence displaying the full nine-digit SSN.
• Identity: Bring the current primary identity document required by DSB, such as the applicable certified birth record or passport.
• Residency: Bring the required Mississippi domicile documents. Use the dedicated Required Documents guide for the full accepted-document list.

Additional Paperwork for Younger Mississippi Drivers

Do not combine the parent-signature and school-attendance rules. They use different age thresholds.

• Under 17: The current application requires the applicable adult signature based on the custody/guardian rules. Required signatures must be notarized; notarization is not triggered only when the signer cannot attend the office.
• Under 18: Bring the current School Attendance Form unless an applicable exception applies.

For home-study students, the current School Attendance Form includes a Home Study Parent certification. Do not replace it with a separate generic parent affidavit.

The Mississippi Road Test Waiver Affidavit for Under-17 Applicants

Does a 17-year-old need the Road Test Waiver Affidavit in Mississippi?

No. Current Mississippi DSB guidance says the Road Test Waiver Affidavit is not required for applicants age 17 and older.

Who can sign the Mississippi Road Test Waiver Affidavit?

For an applicable Class R applicant who is still under 17, the current affidavit allows a parent, teacher, or guardian to certify the required driving instruction. It documents the instruction requirement rather than scheduling or waiving a currently offered regular road test.

Use the current official Affidavit for Road Test Waiver instead of a legacy form number.

Missing Documents at Mississippi DSB

An incomplete document set can prevent the Driver Service Bureau from completing the Class R transaction. Check the current DSB requirements before the appointment rather than relying on an older saved form or legacy form number.

Pay particular attention to the current application, the School Attendance Form when it applies, the Road Test Waiver Affidavit when it applies, and the required identity/SSN/residency documents.

For the full current checklist, use the dedicated Mississippi Required Documents guide. This page should not duplicate that entire list.
