WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE TAKING YOUR NEW MEXICO ROAD EXAM

There are a few things to know before taking your New Mexico Road Exam. You must pass this exam before you can apply for a First-Time Driver’s License or a Provisional Driver’s License. This test is not required if you have a current out-of-state driver’s license or if you will be surrendering your out-of-country driver’s license.

Keep these simple tips in mind before taking your New Mexico Road Exam.

  • Practice your driving skills beforehand. You can contact the office where you will be taking your exam for a description of the driving route.
  • Get plenty of rest before your test.
  • Arrive on time for your exam.

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.

MVD Now does not provide a testing vehicle. Please go through this checklist to ensure that your vehicle meets the necessary requirements for the road exam.

  • All vehicle safety equipment must be functional and undamaged. (seatbelts, mirrors, turn signals, headlights, brake lights, horn, breaks, etc.)
  • The vehicle windshield and windows must be free of any cracks.
