The Nevada DMV road test

The Nevada DMV road test is a behind-the-wheel skills test you take after the written test. Teens must be at least 16, have held a permit for 6 months and logged 50 hours of practice. Adults 18 and older can take it without a permit. Book a drive test appointment, bring an insured and registered car, and expect the examiner to check it first.

What to bring

  • Your instruction permit, if you have one, and proof of identity and Nevada address.
  • A completed Application for Driving Privileges or ID Card (DMV 002).
  • Under 18: a parent or guardian to sign forms, and your driving log, either the RoadReady app download or the DLD-130 form. No other logs are accepted.
  • A car with valid registration and insurance. Teens can't test in a rental car.

The car check

Before you drive, the examiner checks the registration and plates, the insurance card, headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, seat belts, tires and wipers. Brakes, speedometer and muffler must work, and the passenger seat must be clean and safe for the examiner. No passengers or animals can come along.

What's tested and what fails you

The handbook lists preparing to drive, vehicle control, entering traffic, lane use, speed control, turns, parking, backing up, stopping, passing and attention to traffic. You may be asked to stop on a hill.

Serious mistakes such as speeding or failing to yield are an automatic fail. So is using a cell phone during the test. You can't use features like parking assist or cruise control, and interpreters aren't allowed.

If you fail

The examiner tells you what went wrong. You may have to wait up to 30 days before you can test again, and each retest is $10, as of October 2026.
