Getting your driver’s license is an essential step toward independence and freedom on the road in New Mexico. At MVD Express, we aim to make the process efficient and hassle-free. Read on as we share four key steps to help you successfully obtain your driver’s license, and then schedule an appointment with us today to get started.

Gather Required Documentation

Before visiting us, gather all the necessary documents for your driver’s license application. This includes proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport, and proof of residency, like a utility bill or lease agreement. Ensuring you have these essential documents ready will help avoid delays during the application process!

Complete the Application

Once you have your documents in order, the next step is to complete your application. You can often find the application form online, allowing you to fill it out beforehand. MVD Express aims to streamline this process, so you can have your application ready when you arrive at one of our convenient locations in New Mexico.

Prepare for the Driving Tests

If you’re applying for a new driver’s license, you may need to pass a written knowledge test, vision exam, and, in some cases, a driving skills test. To prepare, review the New Mexico Driver Manual available online. We offer resources and support to help you feel confident and ready for each of these assessments.

Know Your Options for REAL ID

If you need a New Mexico REAL ID, be aware of the additional requirements that may apply, such as providing documentation that proves both identity and residency. A REAL ID will be required for certain federal purposes, such as boarding a plane, so it’s important to consider this option.
