Applying for a Nevada Learners Permit

Officials at the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) have authority to enforce drivers license and learners permit rules and regulations in the state. The department administers examinations for each driving permit and drivers license in Nevada (NV).

You are eligible to receive a NV driving permit when you turn 15 1/2 years old. Visit the nearest DMV office to apply to receive the permit. Teens that are younger than 18 years old should bring their parents or legal guardians with them to the DMV office.

Provide identification that proves that you are a United States citizen and that proves that you are a resident of NV. Acceptable forms of identification that proves citizenship include:

  • Social security card
  • Birth certificate
  • Military identification card
  • United States passport
  • Official citizenship or naturalization certification
Acceptable forms of identification that prove residency include:

  • Utility bill
  • Lease or mortgage agreement
  • W-2 forms
Complete the learners permit application. Details that you will fill in on the form are:

  • Your first and last name
  • Home mailing address (including street, city, state and zip code)
  • Date of birth
If you are younger than 18 years old, your parents or legal guardians will complete and sign a "Minor Affidavit and Information Sheet." By signing the affidavit, your parents or legal guardians confirm that they approve of you operating a motor vehicle in NV.

Grab a copy of the NV Driver's Manual before you leave the DMV office. Consider studying the manual with a relative or friend. Review the practice permit test questions at the back of the drivers manual before you take the actual written test.  You have to score at least 80 percent on the test in order to get your drivers permit.
