In certain implementations, a duration of time associated with driving of the student driver may be recorded. The recording occurs during the time associated with the driving. The time duration associated with the driving may be stored in a student-driving session. The student-driving session may be stored. A presence of a first supervisor of the student driver with the student driver during the driving may be confirmed. In some implementations, the pre-licensing requirements may be obtained. The pre-licensing requirements and the stored student-driving session may be compared to generate status information of the student driver with respect to fulfillment of the pre-licensing requirements. In various implementations, the status information may be provided to the motor vehicle agency responsive to a determination that the student driver has fulfilled the pre-licensing requirements. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for facilitating fulfillment and verification of one or more pre-licensing requirements of a motor vehicle agency for a student driver, the method being implemented in a computer system comprising one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the method comprising: recording, by a recording module, a duration of time associated with driving of the student driver, the recording occurring during the time associated with the driving;
