Time required to have a Nevada Drivers Permit?

Question

I have heard that if you got your permit when you were already 16 but under 17 you only have to have it for 60 or 90 days instead of the full 6 months? I have a feeling this is just a rumor or something, but I wanted to check. I looked on the DMV website and I couldn't find anything about it. Does anyone know anything about this law? I got my permit when i was around 16 1/2 and I have had it for almost 3 months now. Do I still have to wait for the 6 months or can I get my license in the next month or so?

Answer 1

From the Nevada DMV, and your instructors should have the same information, available from the website:

"Once you've completed your classroom and driving hour requirements, it's time to start thinking about getting the real deal. You must be at least 16 years of age to apply, and you must also have had an instruction permit for at least six months. Your record must be free of at-fault accidents, moving violations, and alcohol or drug convictions for at least six months before applying."
