Columbus New Mexico Online Driver Education and Columbus New Mexico Licensing Procedures
The State of Columbus New Mexico congratulates you on starting the process of applying for your Columbus New Mexico learner's permit or first Columbus New Mexico driver's license. The process of learning to drive can be a challenging one, and our job is to try to make it as simple for you as possible.
Columbus New Mexico has a graduated driver license program for Columbus New Mexico drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that you don't hit any snags while applying for your Columbus New Mexico driver's license. So, here we go!
The Columbus New Mexico Instructional Permit or Columbus New Mexico Learner’s Permit
When you're 15 you can apply for a Columbus New Mexico instructional permit, otherwise known as a Columbus New Mexico learner's permit. To be eligible, you'll need to enroll in a Columbus New Mexico approved driver training course. Also, you must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21 and has 3 or more years of driving experience. All passengers must wear seatbelts, and don't forget to carry your Columbus New Mexico Instructional Permit with you at all times!
- Proof of Enrollment in a Columbus New Mexico approved driver training course
- Proof of Columbus New Mexico Residency
- Permit fee of $10
- Proof of identification number
- Proof of identity
- Optional 3 hour Columbus New Mexico approved driver education course certification with a 3 hour DWI component (which will help you avoid taking the written test!)
Once you've collected all of the necessary materials, head on down to your local Columbus New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and submit your application. You’ll need your parent/guardian to sign your application, and don’t forget to bring the instructional permit fee of $10. Then, you’ll have to pass a vision test, as well as a written test (unless you already have a certificate of completion from a Columbus New Mexico approved driver education course that includes a 3 hour DWI component). You can study for the Columbus New Mexico written test with the Columbus New Mexico driver handbook.
If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Columbus New Mexico Instructional Permit!

If you’ve completed these requirements, head on down to your local Columbus New Mexico MVD.

If you pass, then congratulations! You’ve just earned your Columbus New Mexico Provisional License! Despite how far you've come however, you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you’ve held your new license for at least 12 months without incident.
