Drivers Permits
You must be 15 years, six months old before you can apply for a learner's permit.
Application Process
When applying for your instruction permit, you'll need to visit your Full Service DMV Office to pass vision and written tests, and your parent or guardian must sign a form accepting financial responsibility.
The fee for a permit is $21.25.
Study, Study, Study!
Once you turn 15 years old, you can enroll in a driver's training program. The training course is not a requirement to obtain your permit, but it is a requirement to obtain your license if a school is located within a 30-mile radius of your home.
You can download a copy of the Nevada Driver's Handbook to study, and then use DMV.ORG's online practice tests to prepare before you head to the DMV.
Restrictions
The instruction permit carries certain restrictions with it. When you drive with a permit, you must have a licensed driver 21 years or older riding in the passenger seat next to you. This driver does not have to be your parent or guardian, but he or she must have carried a valid driver's license for at least one year.
You must also complete at least 50 hours of driving practice, always accompanied by the licensed driver 21 years or older. Ten of those hours must be driven at night. You'll need to record your hours on a Beginning Driver's Log provided by the State, and submit the completed form when you apply for your regular license.
Renew Your Permit
Instruction permits are valid for one year, and are renewable. If the permit is expired more than 30 days, you'll be required to take the written test again.
Lost Permits
If your permit is lost or stolen, just visit your local Full Service DMV Office for a replacement.
