oh jeez so I need to take the written, driving, and vision test....it's been awhile since I took those! need to study up again

any idea how long of wait to schedule the driving test in vegas? how long do I need to wait if I fail either the written test and driving test? can I retake it right away? maybe it will be faster if I just go renew my cali license in cali, and just get a NV DL when I get back.....

I can rent a car with international driving permit but I don't think I can buy car insurance when I am getting a car

I need to rent a car, buy a car, rent an apt, buy a house, FAST!

When I moved to Vegas from California, all I had to take was the vision test. I also took my passport for proof of citizenship.

If you go to the DMV website, the wait time is listed for every office in real time.

According to the DMV, in general the shortest wait is when
Offices open (believe @ 8 am) tues-thurs.
Best locations north Las Vegas (elkhorn) & henderson.
Subject to change as indicated on the real time clock
Mentioned in prior post.
I came from Cali but didn't take written test as my DL
Was current.
As I recall however (every transplant takes the written in
Cali) there are some trick questions.
Review the website a few times.

Note that here there are flashing yellow arrows.
This means turn left only if the coast is clear -
Not rush through.

great thanks a lot for the info

it's been awhile I think I need to study the guide for written test again! or I will fail. also the driving test any tips? probably need to review something or I will fail huh? like parallel parking etc? been a long time since I took those tests lol. however I rarely get any tickets tho.

Anyone know how long is the wait for written and driving test? I mean can you take them on the same day you walk in? or you gotta schedule them? and if you fail how long you gotta wait to take them again? I gonna need a DL to buy car insurance, probably can't buy car insurance with international driving permit. Or maybe I will just drive 3 hours to cali to renew my expired cali DL. anyone know if I can renew cali license over the mail without the renewal notice?

My out-of-state license expired in August around the time I moved here, and I contacted them and asked if I had to get a new driver's license before that license expired in order to avoid taking a driving test and was told no. Here is exactly what I was e-mailed: "As long as your license has been expired for less than one year and you have a good driving record, you would only have to complete a vision test." I would contact them here to make sure, as it appears you would not need to take a driving test after all.
