新墨西哥州驾照
搬到美国后，在新墨西哥州拿到你的第一张驾照。
办理流程
- 1刚到你搬到了新墨西哥州，想在这里开车。
- 2学习许可你持学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）上路练车。
- 3笔试你参加笔试。
- 4路考你亲自上车参加路考。
- 拿驾照你通过考试，驾照就到手了。
费用
第一张驾照
驾照 $18，驾照 $34，外州迁入者酒驾记录（DWI）核查 $15，学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）$10，每年更新 $0
这笔费用在申请时缴纳。
如果你刚到美国
没有有效期的国外证件
如果办事处无法读取并核实你驾照上的信息——姓名、出生日期、准驾类别、有效期、限制条款——你的申请不会被拒，而是改为参加笔试和路考，除非有经认证的翻译件提供这些信息。持外国驾照的话，笔试无论如何都要考。
如果你另一个州的驾照已过期
界线是一年：过期满一年或更久，你就按首次申请人对待，笔试和路考都要参加。
过期满一年或更久，就要重新参加笔试。
过期满一年起就要参加笔试；仍在有效期内的外州驾照可以免笔试。持仍然有效的外国驾照，笔试还是要考。
新墨西哥州法律把这条界线定为一年没有有效驾照；已公布的州法规中没有设定其他界线。
新墨西哥州不为其他州的驾照办更新——你要上交它，然后申请新墨西哥州的驾照。仍在有效期内的外州驾照可以免笔试和路考；过期满一年或更久的什么都免不了，而视力检查无论如何都要做。
如果你没有可转换的驾照
没有可转换的驾照，你就走普通的首次申请流程：一次考试，内容包括交通标志、新墨西哥州交通法规和实际驾驶演示。只要你的驾驶资格被新墨西哥州或任何其他州暂停、吊销或拒绝，就不会给你发驾照。
需要的材料
- 仍在有效期内的证件美国任何一个州、美国属地或加拿大签发的驾照，只要带照片且过期不超过一年，就可以证明你的身份。
你的社会安全号码（SSN）
什么时候要提供号码，谁能看到它
申请 REAL ID 驾照时，如果你有社会安全号码（SSN），就需要提供，州政府会用联邦批准的方式核实它；申请普通驾照则完全不收集这个号码。如果你不符合申领号码的条件，可以用未过期的外国护照，加上有效的美国签证和获批的 I-94 入境记录代替。
要参加的考试
视力检查
至少一只眼睛的视力要达到 20/40 或更好。
每位申请人都要做视力检查——标准是至少一只眼睛达到 20/40 或更好——除非是通过邮寄、电话或电子方式更新驾照。没通过并不代表申请就此结束：车辆管理局可以评估你的视力问题，发一张只限白天开车的驾照。
路考
驾驶演示和交通标志、交通法规考试一起，属于新墨西哥州法律要求首次申请人参加的同一次考试。它和笔试一样，驾照过期满一年就要重新考。
笔试有几次机会
达到 80% 或更高的分数才算通过。没通过的话，至少要等一周才能重考。
笔试或路考共三次没通过，就要等六个月，从你申请的日期算起，而不是从第三次没通过算起。重新申请、重新交费，就能重新开始一轮考试机会。
笔试没通过后想什么时候重考都可以，当天也行，但一周之内最多考两次。
一次申请和它的费用，覆盖申请日期起六个月内最多三次考试机会。这三次机会是笔试和路考共用的一个额度。
笔试练习题
车辆管理局（MVD）的驾驶人表格清单里没有驾驶手册或学习资料。
新墨西哥州官方驾驶手册在车辆管理局（MVD）网站驾照栏目的 Manuals（手册）页面上。
持学习许可练车
练车时谁能坐在你旁边
陪同的成年人必须年满 21 岁，并且持有驾照至少三年。
最低要求是年满 21 岁、持照满三年。
路考要带什么
谁陪你去
你持学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）开车时，旁边座位上必须坐一位年满 21 岁、在新墨西哥州或其他州持有驾照至少三年的有照驾驶人。持摩托车学习许可时，任何人都不能坐在你旁边督导，你也完全不能载任何乘客。
持学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）时，坐在你旁边的必须是年满 21 岁、在新墨西哥州或其他州持照至少三年的有照驾驶人。骑摩托车时不适用这条规定。
考试用车和保险
考试用车由你自己提供。它必须和你申请驾驶的车辆类型相同，车内要有有效的行驶登记证明和保险证明，而且车况良好。
车不一定要是你自己的：没有规定要求你是登记车主或保单上的被保险人，所以借来的车也可以。有效的行驶登记证明必须放在车里，你还要持有有效的保险证明。
考官会先检查车辆，你要演示怎么调后视镜，怎么使用手刹、喇叭、雨刮、前灯、尾灯、双闪和转向灯。这些操作不会做，考试还没开始就结束了。
路考也可以在与车辆管理局（MVD）签约的驾驶教育学校完成；之后你带上填好的 MVD 结业记录和你的合格成绩去办理。
路考期间车里不允许有儿童和宠物，也强烈不建议带任何其他乘客。没有为翻译或看护人员写明任何例外。
《机动车法》本身对考试用车没有任何规定：车是谁的、登记、保险、检查、谁同车，法律条文都没有写。
