Before your appointment.
Nebraska’s Learner’s Permit (LPD) is designed for practice toward a POP, Class O, or Class M credential.
An LPD holder must have a licensed driver at least 21 years old accompanying them.
The 2025 manual cautions that it is educational; consult Nebraska statutes for legal wording.
Permit eligibility, documents, fees, and appointment details can change. Confirm those details with Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles before you go.
