If this was your first driver's license, you will need to apply for a Nevada learner’s permit which requires a written exam on traffic signs, motor vehicle laws and safe driving techniques.

When you receive a valid learner’s permit, then you will then need to pass a road skills test and vision test to receive a Nevada driver’s license.

You must be 16 years old and have to hold your learner's permit for a minimum of six months before applying for a regular license. Before taking the road skills test, applicants under the age of 18 have three options:

There is no written exam or road skills testing required to change a valid out-of-state license to an NV driver's license, but you will need to pass the vision test.

If your prior U.S. license has been expired, suspended or revoked for more than one year, you must take all three tests - vision, knowledge and skills.

Foreign nationals temporarily in the U.S. may drive in Nevada for one year if they have a valid license from their home country accompanied by an International Driver's License.

If you have never been licensed in the U.S., you must take all three tests - vision, knowledge and skills.

You should take all these tests in the type of vehicle for which you wish to be licensed.

Pre-Trip Vehicle Inspection: You will be tested to see whether your vehicle is safe to drive. You will be asked to do a pre-trip inspection of your vehicle and explain to the examiner what you would inspect and why.

Basic Vehicle Control: You will be tested on your skill to control the vehicle. You will be asked to move your vehicle forward, backward, and turn it, etc, within a defined area.
