To save time when you apply for your learner's permit or NM driver's license, you can make an appointment at your local New Mexico MVD office.
The New Mexico MVD requests that you arrive before 3 p.m. to give yourself enough time to complete the written test. Generally, the MVD will not administer the test if you arrive later.
