Please make sure you're set up to take the course in your state.

If you live in a state that's different from the state on your driver's license, then still choose the state on your driver's license for your course. Your car insurance and state-specific mandates are all based on your driver's license.

Upon purchasing the course for a family member or friend, you will be asked to provide the state in which the recipient has a valid driver's license, his/her full name and email address. Once the course has been purchased, you will receive a confirmation email, and the recipient will receive an email notifying him/her that he/she has received an AARP Smart Driver online course from you. Before beginning the course, the recipient will be prompted to set up his/her user account, and then he/she will be ready to get started.

Please call us at 1-800-350-7025, we can help. The state of the purchased course can be changed with the help of our assistants.

A CVC, or Card Verification Code, is a 3- or 4-digit code usually found on the back of your card near your signature.

Why do we need to know if you have taken a state-approved driver safety course in the past three years?

To find out your previous course completion date, please check with your auto insurance company. If you happened to take the AARP Smart Driver course previously, you may also contact our Customer Service Representatives at 1-800-350-7025.
