What Is Florida HSMV Form 71144SP?

Form 71144SP is the Spanish translation of the English Parent Proctoring Form (HSMV 71144). Both versions serve the same legal purpose under Florida law.

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, any applicant under age 18 may take the Class E Knowledge Exam online through a state-authorized third-party provider. When the test is completed online, the parent or legal guardian must affirm in writing that they supervised the exam and that the minor received no assistance.

The form includes spaces for:

  • The minor’s full name and date of birth
  • The parent or legal guardian’s printed name and signature
  • Notary public or driver license examiner acknowledgment

Official instructions state that the parent or legal guardian of the online-tested applicant must sign the form, and all signatures must be notarized or witnessed by a driver license examiner.

When Is Form 71144SP Required?

You need Form 71144SP if all of the following apply:

  • The applicant is under 18 years old
  • The Class E Knowledge Exam was taken online through an authorized third-party administrator
  • The parent or legal guardian will submit the form when the minor applies for a learner’s license or driver license

The form is not required if the minor takes the knowledge exam in person at a FLHSMV office or tax collector location. It is also not needed for applicants who are 18 or older, because adults cannot take the Class E Knowledge Exam online.

Florida’s official teen licensing page confirms that the Parent/Guardian Online Test Proctoring Form must be completed whenever the minor finishes the Class E Knowledge Exam online through a third-party administrator. The Spanish version (71144SP) is provided for Spanish-speaking families.

How to Complete and Submit Form 71144SP?

Follow these steps to properly complete the Spanish Parent Proctoring Form:

  1. Download the official form from the FLHSMV website: https://www.flhsmv.gov/pdf/forms/71144sp.pdf.
  2. Print the form clearly.
  3. Fill in the minor’s full legal name (first, middle, and last) and date of birth.
  4. The parent or legal guardian must sign the affirmation stating they were present during the online test and that the minor answered the questions without assistance or reference materials.
  5. Have the signature notarized by a Florida notary public or signed in the presence of a driver license examiner or agent.
  6. Bring the completed, signed, and notarized (or examiner-witnessed) form to the driver license office when the minor applies for the learner’s permit or driver license.

Important: Step-parents may not sign unless they have legally adopted the minor. Only a parent or legal guardian is authorized to complete this form.

Notarization and Examiner Witness Requirements

Florida requires that signatures on Form 71144SP be either:

  • Notarized by a commissioned notary public, or
  • Witnessed and signed by a driver license examiner or authorized agent

If the parent or legal guardian will not be present at the driver license office, the form must be notarized in advance. Many families complete the online exam at home, obtain notarization shortly afterward, and then schedule the office visit.

The English version of the form (HSMV 71144, Rev. 03/15) contains the same instructions, confirming that the parent or legal guardian must sign and that all signatures must be notarized or witnessed by an examiner.
