How to get a Nebraska driver's license
This is how the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles describes a first license for teen drivers, based on the Nebraska Driver's Manual (January 2025) and the DMV's permit pages. Check the DMV website for current fees and requirements before you go.
Get a learner's permit
At 15, bring proof of citizenship or lawful status, two proofs of your Nebraska address, and your Social Security number. Pass the vision and written tests. You can drive only with a licensed driver 21 or older in the seat beside you.
Practice for six months
Hold your permit for at least six months with fewer than three points. Finish a DMV-approved driver safety course, or log 50 hours of practice, 10 of them after dark, on a certification form signed by a parent, guardian, or licensed driver 21 or older.
Get your POP at 16
If you took the approved course, the written and drive tests are waived. With the 50-hour form, you take the vision and drive tests. The POP lets you drive alone from 6 a.m. to midnight, with one non-family passenger under 19 for the first six months.
Move to a Class O license
At 17, after 12 months with the POP and fewer than three points in the last 12 months, you can get a Class O license online or at a driver licensing office, with no tests.

Frequently asked questions
How old do you have to be for a Nebraska learner's permit?
15 for the regular Learner's Permit (LPD). You can apply 60 days before your birthday, but the permit is issued on or after it. You need to pass the vision and written tests, and you can drive only with a licensed driver 21 or older in the seat beside you. If you live or go to school outside a city of 5,000 or more, you can get a School Learner's Permit at 14.
What is on the Nebraska written test?
The Class O written test is based on the Nebraska Driver's Manual, which covers licensing rules, alcohol and safety laws, signs, signals and pavement markings, rules of the road, and sharing the road. The DMV's manual and permit pages don't give the number of questions or the passing score. The manual ends with a practice exam that mixes true/false and multiple-choice questions, and it says those questions differ from the ones on the real test.
What happens if I fail a test at the DMV?
You can't retake a failed test the same day. If you fail three drive tests in a row, you have to finish a DMV-approved driver training course or hold a Learner's Permit for at least 90 days before you can apply again.
When can I get a Provisional Operator's Permit (POP) in Nebraska?
At 16, after holding a school or learner's permit for at least six months with fewer than three points in that time. You also need either a DMV-approved driver safety course or a 50-hour certification form with at least 10 hours after dark. The course waives the written and drive tests. With the 50-hour form, you take the vision and drive tests.
What are the rules for a Nebraska POP?
You can drive alone from 6 a.m. to midnight. Between midnight and 6 a.m. you can drive only to or from work or school activities, unless a parent, guardian, or licensed driver 21 or older is with you. For the first six months, you can carry only one passenger under 19 who isn't an immediate family member. Everyone in the car has to wear a seat belt, and you can't use a phone while driving.
When do Nebraska teens get a full license?
At 17, after holding a POP for 12 months with fewer than three points in the last 12 months, you can get a Class O license. The written and drive tests are waived, so you can get it online or at a driver licensing office. A license issued before you turn 21 expires on your 21st birthday.
