Gallup New Mexico Online Driver Education and Gallup New Mexico Licensing Procedures
The State of Gallup New Mexico congratulates you on starting the process of applying for your Gallup New Mexico learner's permit or first Gallup New Mexico driver's license. The process of learning to drive can be a challenging one, and our job is to try to make it as simple for you as possible.
Gallup New Mexico has a graduated driver license program for Gallup New Mexico drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that you don't hit any snags while applying for your Gallup New Mexico driver's license. So, here we go!
The Gallup New Mexico Instructional Permit or Gallup New Mexico Learner’s Permit
When you're 15 you can apply for a Gallup New Mexico instructional permit, otherwise known as a Gallup New Mexico learner's permit. To be eligible, you'll need to enroll in a Gallup New Mexico approved driver training course. Also, you must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21 and has 3 or more years of driving experience. All passengers must wear seatbelts, and don't forget to carry your Gallup New Mexico Instructional Permit with you at all times!
- Proof of Enrollment in a Gallup New Mexico approved driver training course
- Proof of Gallup New Mexico Residency
- Permit fee of $10
- Proof of identification number
- Proof of identity
- Optional 3 hour Gallup New Mexico approved driver education course certification with a 3 hour DWI component (which will help you avoid taking the written test!)
Once you've collected all of the necessary materials, head on down to your local Gallup New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and submit your application. You’ll need your parent/guardian to sign your application, and don’t forget to bring the instructional permit fee of $10. Then, you’ll have to pass a vision test, as well as a written test (unless you already have a certificate of completion from a Gallup New Mexico approved driver education course that includes a 3 hour DWI component). You can study for the Gallup New Mexico written test with the Gallup New Mexico driver handbook.
If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Gallup New Mexico Instructional Permit!
When you’ve held your Gallup New Mexico Instructional Permit for 6 months and have met a few requirements, you’ll be ready to advance to the Gallup New Mexico Provisional license.
The Gallup New Mexico Provisional Driver License or Gallup New Mexico Full License
You can apply for your Gallup New Mexico Provisional license once you’ve held your Gallup New Mexico Instructional Permit for 6 months and have met the following requirements:
- Complete 50 hours of supervised driving practice
- 10 hours must be at night
- Your parents must verify the 50 hours of driving practice by signing a driving log
- Be at least 15 and a half
- No drinking or driving (even a .02 blood alcohol content will result in your Gallup New Mexico Instructional Permit being revoked for 6 months

If you’ve completed these requirements, head on down to your local Gallup New Mexico MVD. Then, unless you’ve already taken a road skills exam as part of your Gallup New Mexico approved driver education course, you’ll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You’ve just earned your Gallup New Mexico Provisional License! Despite how far you've come however, you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you’ve held your new license for at least 12 months without incident.

Gallup New Mexico Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws
