You can take the DMV written test online at KnowTo Drive, the official knowledge testing platform in Nevada. If you are under 18, an adult at least 21 years of age must be present to complete your identity verification. After you pass the exam, you are still required to schedule an appointment and visit a DMV office to receive the permit. Alternatively, you can schedule the knowledge test at any Nevada DMV office.

With an instruction permit, you can drive only if accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old, has been licensed for at least 1 year, and is seated beside you. After receiving your driver's license, you cannot transport passengers under 18 for the first 6 months (except for family members). Until you turn 18, you are restricted from driving between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless for approved school or work activities. Finally, it is prohibited for all drivers under 21 to operate a vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol.

Nevada instruction permits remain valid for one year. In case of expiration, you can renew it in person at a DMV office and a parent or guardian is required to sign another Financial Responsibility Statement.

If you don't pass your online DMV written test in Nevada, you'll need to wait for one calendar day before trying again. An additional fee is required for each attempt.
