Before your appointment.
Nevada instruction permits are valid for one year; a teen must be at least 15½ to apply.
A Class C permit requires a licensed supervisor age 21 or older with at least one year of driving experience beside the learner.
Nevada teens generally need 50 supervised hours, including 10 at night, before licensing.
Permit eligibility, documents, fees, and appointment details can change. Confirm those details with Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles before you go.
