What is the driving age in Nebraska?
I just turned 14 and I can’t wait to learn how to drive. I live in Nebraska, how old do I need to be to get a permit?

Happy birthday! Learning how to drive can be super exciting, but figuring out how to get there can be a little complicated. The driving age in
Nebraska
is 14 for a school learner’s permit if you live in a small town with less than 5,000 people. With this type of permit, you are only allowed to drive if you’re accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. After your school learner’s permit, here are the options:
- School permit: You can get a school permit at 15 after you’ve held a school learner’s permit for two months. The school permit allows you to drive alone if you’re going to or from school—but if you want to drive anywhere else, then you need a licensed driver over 21 in the car with you.
- Learner’s permit: If you don’t qualify for a school permit, you can apply for a learner’s permit at 15. Teens with a learner’s permit must be accompanied by a licensed driver over the age of 21.
No matter which type of permit you get, you’ll need your parents’ permission to apply at your local DMV office. You’ll also need to bring the required documents and pass a vision test and a written exam.
Don’t forget that you need car insurance before you can drive in
Nebraska
