Stage Two: The Provisional License
To obtain a Provisional License the teen driver must be at least 15 ½ years old, fully completed Stage One of the Graduated Licensing System, held a clean driving record for 90 days preceding the application of the Provisional License, and go into an MVD Express office with the following documents:
- Expired Instructional Permit
- 50 Hour Driving Log (must include a minimum of 10 hours of night driving)
- Certificate of Completion (from a driving school such as McGinnis School of Driving)
- Parent/Legal Guardian
In addition to the above items, if the teen driver does not hold a State issued Instructional Permit they must also bring in the following documents:
- Original State Issued Birth Certificate
- Original Social Security Card
- One Proof of New Mexico Residency
Once the Provisional License has been received it will need to be held for a minimum of one year or until the teen reaches the age of 18. The teen driver may not have more than one passenger in the car under the age of 21 who is not an immediate family member. The teen driver may not operate the car between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21 years or older. Exceptions are permitted for school, employment, family and medical need, or religious functions. During times of these exceptions the teen driver must carry a statement from the appropriate school, employer, Doctor, Religious Official or Parent/Legal Guardian.
Effective June 17, Senate Bill 9, enacted by the 2011 Legislature, amends Sections 66-5-8 and 66-5-9 NMSA 1978 to provide that:
The 12-month minimum period for which an individual is required to hold a provisional license before obtaining a regular driver's license is also extended by 30 days for each traffic violation, committed during the time the individual was driving with the provisional license, for which the individual was convicted or adjudicated delinquent.
