NY Permit: Paper vs Plastic for Course

[millekentk]

Can I take the 5-hour class if my plastic permit hasn't arrived? I have the paper one and a NY State ID. Also, does anyone know if they ship the completion certificate to any US address?

Hi, you can usually take the 5-hour pre-licensing course with a temporary paper permit, as long as it's valid and you also have proper ID like your NY State ID. Most schools accept this combination, but it's always smart to confirm in advance. During my search I found https://coreway.nyc/pre-licensing-course, and they outline requirements and options clearly. As for the certificate, many providers can mail it to any US address, but check shipping details when booking.
