Silver City New Mexico Online Driver Education and Silver City New Mexico Licensing Procedures
The State of Silver City New Mexico congratulates you on starting the process of applying for your Silver City New Mexico learner's permit or first Silver City 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.
Silver City New Mexico has a graduated driver license program for Silver City 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 Silver City New Mexico driver's license. So, here we go!
The Silver City New Mexico Instructional Permit or Silver City New Mexico Learner’s Permit
When you're 15 you can apply for a Silver City New Mexico instructional permit, otherwise known as a Silver City New Mexico learner's permit. To be eligible, you'll need to enroll in a Silver City 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 Silver City New Mexico Instructional Permit with you at all times!
- Proof of Enrollment in a Silver City New Mexico approved driver training course
- Proof of Silver City New Mexico Residency
- Permit fee of $10
- Proof of identification number
- Proof of identity
- Optional 3 hour Silver City 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 Silver City 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 Silver City New Mexico approved driver education course that includes a 3 hour DWI component). You can study for the Silver City New Mexico written test with the Silver City New Mexico driver handbook.
If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Silver City New Mexico Instructional Permit!
When you’ve held your Silver City New Mexico Instructional Permit for 6 months and have met a few requirements, you’ll be ready to advance to the Silver City New Mexico Provisional license.
The Silver City New Mexico Provisional Driver License or Silver City New Mexico Full License
You can apply for your Silver City New Mexico Provisional license once you’ve held your Silver City 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

If you’ve completed these requirements, head on down to your local Silver City New Mexico MVD. Then, unless you’ve already taken a road skills exam as part of your Silver City 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 Silver City 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.

Silver City New Mexico Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws
As a new driver, one of your first responsibilities is to learn the Silver City New Mexico drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws and obey them religiously. More than anything else, as a driver you should be committed to keeping yourself and others safe.
Drunk Driving. Like most states, Silver City New Mexico has a Zero Tolerance Law for underage drinking, and if you are convicted of a Silver City New Mexico DUI or Silver City New Mexico DWI, you face additional penalties to those listed below.
Upon your first conviction of a Silver City New Mexico DWI, you’ll face the following penalties:
And of course, further Silver City New Mexico DWI and DUI convictions will result in stiffer penalties: increased jail time, community service, fines, and Silver City New Mexico license suspension or even Silver City New Mexico license revocation are all possible for repeat offenders!
Cell Phones. Currently, Silver City New Mexico teen drivers are not allowed to use cell phones while driving in only two cities, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. In Santa Fe, it is prohibited to drive while using a cell phone (even with a hands-free device) to talk or text message. The fine is $60. In Albuquerque, you may use a cell phone only with a hands-free device. The fine is $100 for first conviction and $200 for subsequent convictions. As a general rule, cell phone use while driving should be kept to a minimum no matter where you live!
Silver City New Mexico Auto Insurance Financial Responsibility Laws
Once you receive your Silver City New Mexico drivers license, we know you'll be anxious to get on the road. But there's one more important detail: insurance.

The minimum liability insurance coverage is: $25,000 per person, per accident; $50,000 bodily injury for 2 or more persons per accident; and $10,000 for property damage.
