ZIP code covered
A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets New Mexico's standards for instructors, vehicles and lessons. Without it, the hours you pay for may not count, and your insurer may turn down the certificate.
In New Mexico, driving schools are licensed through the NMDOT Traffic Safety Bureau.
- Search New Mexico’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Teens 15 to 17: 30 classroom hours (at least 6 on DWI prevention) and 7 hours behind the wheel, on a Traffic Safety Bureau certificate the school buys from the Bureau. (source)
- Driving safety course: at least 6 course hours. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the NMDOT Traffic Safety Bureau before you enroll.
