MVD Now offers the road exam but does not provide testing vehicles. You will need to have a vehicle present on the day of your exam. In the next section, we will go over the requirements for the testing vehicle and the potential documents that you will require.

ROAD EXAM REQUIREMENTS

There are very few requirements for your Road Exam and they will vary depending on your scenario. Let’s go over a few of these:

You must be at least 15 years old to take your road exam.
If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must be present in our office. (parent or guardian will not accompany you on the road exam)

This third requirement only applies if you do not have a current New Mexico ID or Driving Permit.

You will need to provide 1 proof of identity, which allow us to create an MVD profile and save your test score in the MVD system.

Providing us with 1 proof of identity will help us input your First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Date Of Birth, and/or Social Security Number correctly. You can use the same proof of identity that you plan on using when applying for your Driver’s License.
