An appointment is not necessary to apply for a Nebraska driver license.

There are 13 permanent Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office locations in nine counties that are open during regular business hours Monday through Friday. All other DMV locations in the remaining 84 Nebraska counties have varying business hours, so it is best to call ahead to confirm that the location you want to visit will be open. 

Tips for Faster NE DMV Service

In order to minimize wait times at the NE DMV, it's helpful to keep in mind a few basic tips:

  • Remember to bring documents showing proof of identity, address, and Social Security number.
  • If possible, avoid visiting the office before or after a holiday, on days when school is not in session, or after 3 p.m. on a workday.
  • Acceptable payment methods for drivers license fees are determined by the county treasurer. Credit cards or debit cards may not be accepted at all office locations.
  • If you will need to complete the written license test, do not assume you'll be able to pass on the first try. The NE DMV reports 60 percent of applicants fail the written exam the first time. Spend some time reviewing the driver handbook and taking a practice test to help you prepare.
  • If you will need to complete the driving test, remember that you will need to provide your own vehicle with proper registration and insurance. You will also need to bring a licensed driver with you, since you won't be able to drive home if you don't pass the test.
