To be eligible for the Nevada instruction permit, you must:

1. Be at least 15½ years old.
2. Submit Application Form DLD1 and Form DLD–38–you can get these at the DMV field office. Have a parent or guardian sign the financial responsibility section on the application. Parents will also need to call their auto insurance agent to check what adjustments need to be made to include a teen driver into their policy.
3. Provide your Social Security number with one of the following:
   • State-Issued License or ID with number listed
   • Social Security Card
   • Social Security Benefits Documentation
4. Present proof of name and birth date with one of the following:

5. Have your picture taken.

8. Pass a vision exam.
9. Pass the written permit test. This test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the Nevada Drivers Handbook.

Note: All documents used at the DMV must be originals and not photocopies.

Once you pass the written permit test, you'll be issued a Nevada instruction permit. Remember that when driving with an instruction permit, a licensed driver 21 or older and who has been licensed for at least one year must be seated next to you at all times.

Instruction permits are valid for one year, and if the permit is expired for more than 30 days, you'll need to take the written test again.

Step 4: Practice driving under supervision

If you are under 18, you must hold your instruction permit for at least 6 months and complete 50 hours (10 at night) of practice driving under the supervision of a licensed driver who is at least 21 and who has been licensed for at least one year. The 50 hours of driving must be logged in a Beginning Driver Experience LogDld130.pdf PdfformsDld130.pdf Pdfforms.

The following restrictions will apply to your license:

• Young drivers may not transport any passenger under 18, except for immediate family members, for the first six months after the license was issued.
• Drivers under 18 may not drive between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are traveling to or from a scheduled event such as school events or work.

• Nevada has a .02 blood alcohol limit for drivers under 21. Drivers can be arrested for any detectable amount of a controlled substance. Minors' drivers licenses can be suspended for any of the same reasons as adult licenses and also for alcohol or drug convictions, firearms violations, or habitual truancy.
