In New Hampshire, you must be at least 18 years old to obtain a full, unrestricted driver’s license. However, you can obtain a learner’s permit at age 15 and a provisional license at age 16, but a full, unrestricted license is available when you turn 18.
The road test for a New Hampshire driver’s license primarily involves demonstrating your driving skills in a practical driving test, which includes performing maneuvers and a vehicle safety check to ensure the vehicle is in proper working condition.
To apply for a new driver’s license in New Hampshire, you need to provide proof of Social Security number, proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), and proof of residency (such as a utility bill or lease agreement).
A provisional driver’s license in New Hampshire is designed for new drivers and comes with specific restrictions, such as limits on driving at night and the number of passengers. This helps ensure that new drivers gain experience under safer conditions before receiving a full, unrestricted license.
In New Hampshire, a driver’s license is typically valid for 5 years. You must renew your license before it expires to continue driving legally.
