Instructions

Rural Drivers

• If you live 1.5 miles or more from your high school AND live outside a city of 5,000 people or more (or attend a school outside a city of 5,000 people or more), you have the option of obtaining a school learner's permit, also known as an LPE, and then a school permit, or SCP.

School Learner's Permit (LPE)

• The LPE is available for teen drivers who wish to practice driving for a school permit. It entitles you to operate a motor vehicle when accompanied by a licensed driver over the age of 21.
• Applicants must be at least 14 years old, but no older than 16 years old. Successful completion of a vision screening and a written knowledge test is required. There is an $8 application fee.
• An LPE is valid for three months, but can be renewed if necessary.

School Permit (SCP)

• The SCP allows you to drive unaccompanied to school and related extracurricular activities. Nebraska teens with a valid SCP may also drive at any time if they are accompanied by a licensed driver over the age of 21.
• To receive an SCP, you must have first had an LPE for at least two months. You will be required to either complete an approved driver education course or submit a 50-hour certification form signed by a licensed driver over the age of 21. There is an $8 application fee.
• An SCP expires on your sixteenth birthday. Once you turn 16, you can obtain your provisional operator's permit

Non-rural Drivers

• The first permit you can get if you don't live in a rural area is the learner's permit, also known as an LPD. This entitles you to drive a motor vehicle when accompanied by a licensed driver over the age of 21.
• To receive an LPD, you must be at least 15 years old. Successful completion of the vision screening and written test will be required. There is an $8 application fee.
• The permit is valid for one year, but may be renewed if necessary.
