Van license

If you want to drive one of the College's vans, be it to haul around your entry or schlep the debate team somewhere, you're going to need a van license from the college. You will need to:

• obtain a copy of your driving record
• pass a driving test

New Method

In recent years, the college requires that you go through online services to provide them with your driving record. To obtain a Motor Vehicle Record request, visit Motor Vehicle Record Request. The college will then send you an email with a link to a website that will let you provide the college access to your driving record.

After you consent to the college viewing your record, the college will send you a follow-up email letting you know that you can schedule a driving test if you want to drive a 12-passanger van.

Once you get your driving record, contact collegecars@williams.edu to schedule a driving test.

For more details, see College Vehicles.

Old Method

In all states, it is possible to obtain the record at a DMV office. In general, it is best to pay for the form with a check drawn from a bank, rather than a personal check or cash.

DO NOT use an online service like drivingrecord.org. The records they give you are not state certified, and the college will not accept them. You must get your record directly from your state DMV.
