Getting Your Nebraska Driver's LicensePosted by admin in Nebraska Driver's License, Moving to Nebraska   |

Welcome to the great state of Nebraska, where the possibilities are endless! As a new resident, you are no doubt anxious to make Nebraska your home. One of the important steps in that process is acquiring a Nebraska Driver's License.
All new drivers in Nebraska have thirty (30) days to acquire a Nebraska Driver's License. The first step in the process is to find your nearest driver license office. To find the nearest Nebraska Driver's License office, you can visit http://www.dmv.state.ne.us/examining/map.html. Driver’s Licenses are issued individually by county, so you’ll need to find the location of the county office closest to you. Please note that offices are closed for all statutory state holidays, such as President’s Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day. You also want to avoid the busiest times at the offices, such as after 3:00 PM on business days, days when schools are closed, and the days just before and after holidays.
The second step on arrival at the office is to complete the application process. The office staff at any of the driver's license centers will have Nebraska driver's license application forms available for you to complete. You should also bring acceptable proof of identification with you, which consists of one form of ID that provides your name and date of birth.
Please also bring the appropriate driver’s license fee. As of July, 2008 the fee for a Nebraska driver’s license valid for one year was $5.00. For licenses valid for more than one year, the fees go up incrementally with some cost savings depending on how many years your license will be valid, up to five years. Fees are paid to the treasurer of the particular county in which you are located. If you wear any kind of eye glass or contact lens, licenses can only be acquired for up to two years.
If you currently have a valid driver’s license from any other state or country, you will not need to be retested in order to get your Nebraska Driver’s License. However, it’s still advisable to look over the Nebraska Driver’s Manual just to familiarize yourself with your new state’s laws and regulations. You can review on in print at this location: http://www.dmv.state.ne.us/examining/pdf/engdrivermanual.pdf. An audio version of the driver’s manual is also available here: http://www.dmv.state.ne.us/examining/audio.html.
If you do not currently have a valid driver’s license, and are over the age of 18, you will need to pass both a written test based on the Nebraska Driver’s Manual and a road test. Make sure to make an advance appointment with your nearest license office for the road test.
If you do not have a valid driver’s license and are under the age of 18, be aware that Nebraska has a graduated license system. You will need to acquire a learner’s permit, move on to a provisional operator’s permit, and then finally a regular Nebraska Driver’s License. More information can be found on the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicle’s Homepage.
