Henderson Nevada Online Driver Education and Henderson Nevada Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Henderson Nevada learner’s permit or first Henderson Nevada driver’s license. Henderson Nevada has a Graduated Driver License Program for Henderson Nevada teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Henderson Nevada driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.

The Henderson Nevada Instructional Permit or Henderson Nevada Learner’s Permit

When you turn 15 and a half, you can apply for a Henderson Nevada Instruction Permit. To apply, you’ll need to meet the following Henderson Nevada requirements:

• Be 15 and a half
• Complete a Henderson Nevada approved driver safety course
• Present proof of identity (U.S. issued birth certificate or Social Security Card)
• Pay the $22 fee
• And your parent/guardian must sign a financial responsibility section of driver application

If you’ve met all of the Henderson Nevada teen driver’s license requirements, head on down to your local Henderson Nevada DMV and submit your application. Then you’ll have to take a written test, consisting of 50 multiple choice questions, a vision test, and an initial road skills test. If you fail, the retest fee is $10. If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just received your Henderson Nevada Instruction Permit, which is valid for 1 year.

Remember that with your Henderson Nevada Learner’s Permit, you can practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21. All passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your Henderson Nevada Learner’s Permit with you at all times. After you’ve had your Henderson Nevada learner’s permit for 6 months, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Henderson Nevada Graduated License Program, the Henderson Nevada full license.

The Henderson Nevada Provisional Driver License or Henderson Nevada Full License

In order to apply for your Henderson Nevada Full Driver’s license, you’ll need to make sure you follow a few Henderson Nevada State requirements before heading down to your local Henderson Nevada Driver Examination Station:

• Hold your Henderson Nevada learner’s permit for at least 6 months without incident (no at-fault accidents, moving violations, or alcohol or drug convictions)
• Complete a Henderson Nevada approved driver safety course which includes 50 hours of behind-the-wheel experience
• 10 hours must be night-time driving
• If driver education is not offered within 30 miles of your home, you can take a Henderson Nevada-approved online driver education class
• If you do not have internet access, then you must complete 100 hours of supervised driving, 10 of which must be nighttime driving
• Regardless of how you choose to complete the required practice hours, you must keep a written log to be submitted to your local Henderson Nevada DMV. Your parents must sign this form
• The Henderson Nevada DMV also maintains a Beginning Driver Training Guide to help parents and teens practice driving

If you’ve completed these Henderson Nevada requirements, schedule your Henderson Nevada teen driving test by calling or online, then head on down to your local Henderson Nevada DMV again, where you’ll submit your application and the required materials. Again, you’ll need the following:

• Parent/guardian to sign a financial responsibility statement
• Henderson Nevada Instruction Permit
• Proof of Identity
• Driver Education Certificate
• Completed Beginning Driver Experience Log
• Vehicle with Registration and Insurance

Then you’ll have to take the dreaded road test. If you pass, then congratulations! You’ve just earned your Henderson Nevada Full License! However, you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
