What You Will Need To Bring

If you have never attempted to receive your New Mexico driver’s license, you may be surprised if you come to MVD Express unprepared. There are many different proofs of identity that you will be required to provide before you are able to take any of your driver’s license tests. Below are the four documents that you will need to present when visiting MVD Express.

Proof of Identification Number

The first document that you will need to present to an MVD representative is proof of an identification number. There are several different types of acceptable documentation such as your Social Security Number or your W-2.

Proof of Identity and Age

While a proof of your identification number is just one of the many documents that you will need to receive your driver’s license, you will also be required to present one proof of identity and age. These are most commonly presented in the form of a birth certificate or a U.S. Passport.

Proof of New Mexico Residency

Lastly, before you can receive your REAL ID, you must also present two proofs of physical residency. Documents such as an insurance bill, a utility bill, or an employment pay stub are all acceptable proofs of residency.

Completion of Driving Tests

There are four tests that you will need to complete in order to receive your New Mexico driver’s license. You will begin by completing a simple eye test that will test your quality of eyesight. Next, you will be required to complete a written test that will effectively display your knowledge of common motor-vehicle laws. Once you have completed your written test, you will take a road test with one of our professional instructors who will assess your abilities on the road. Lastly, you will need to complete New Mexico’s DWI awareness program and show proof of completion to one of our friendly representatives.
