Does the REAL ID Act Impact Residents of Nebraska?

The REAL ID Act was created because of September 11^th and passed by congress in 2005. This act was passed to set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.

The REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards. This act also prohibits federal agencies from accepting licenses and identification cards from states that DO NOT meet these standards for official purposes.

State agencies that issue licenses and identification cards, such as the DMV, require additional paperwork, such as proof of residency and social security number under the REAL ID Act under this new act. The new ID cards will be created using new technology, which makes them more difficult to forge.

Is Obtaining a REAL ID Mandatory in Nebraska?

Obtaining a compliant REAL ID or REAL driver’s license is OPTIONAL. If you have valid documents that are TSA-approved, you can use these documents to pass TSA checkpoints at airport terminals nationwide and visit a secure federal building or military installation at any time.

If you don’t plan on boarding a domestic flight or visiting a secure federal facility or military base, you are NOT required to have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID card. You also are NOT required to have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID card to do the following:

Visit a hospital or receive life-saving services
Vote
Operate a motor vehicle
Enter a federal facility that does NOT require ID (such as a post office)
Apply for or receive federal benefits (Social Security Administration (SSA), Veterans Affairs, etc.)

How Do You Prepare to Apply for a REAL ID Card?

Nebraska began issuing REAL IDs in 2013. REAL ID-compliant identification is required to:

Take a commercial flight
Enter nuclear power plants
Enter certain federal facilities

Be advised that a passport or another federally accepted ID will also satisfy the requirements for the purposes listed above. A Nebraska REAL ID is marked with a gold star.

Applying for a Commercial Driver’s License in Nebraska

If you have dreams of you enjoying the open road in an 18-wheeler, we’ve got you covered! You will need a commercial driver’s license (CDL). To earn a CDL, you must abide by all national regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and follow the licensing procedure that is overseen by the NE DMV.

Nebraska CDL Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for an NE CDL, you must:

Obtain a valid, standard NE driver’s license
Be at least 18 years old (applicants who are under 21 years old will be restricted to operating a commercial vehicle within Nebraska ONLY, also referred to as intrastate driving).
Be able to prove your:
- U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency
- Identity
- Nebraska residency

Nebraska Commercial Learner’s Permits

Earning your Nebraska CDL is a multi-step process. The first step in this process is to obtain your commercial learner’s permit (CLP). However, before you take this step, you should consider completing a commercial driver’s license education course. This course is NOT required by the NE DMV or the FMCSA, but it could help you through the process of obtaining your CDL.

When you’re ready, you need to schedule an appointment with your local NE DMV branch and:

Provide your:
- Proof of identity, U.S. citizenship/Permanent residency, and NE residency
- Social Security Number
Submit a completed CLP and CDL Data Form (Form DMV 06-105)
Obtain the necessary medical paperwork
Pass the NE vision test that is administered by the NE DMV
Pay the $15 CLP fee

You will also need to complete any written tests at this time for the CDL class you want and any endorsements you want to add to your CDL, if applicable. If you fail the written tests, you will be able to retest, but you must wait at least 1 day before doing so.

After you complete the necessary testing and provide the required paperwork, you will be issued your commercial learner’s permit. Congratulations!

CLP Restrictions in Nebraska

A Nebraska commercial learner’s permit comes with different rules than a CDL. While you have your CLP, you are only allowed to operate commercial motor vehicles on public roads, and only while accompanied by a full CDL holder.

The Nebraska DMV also requires all commercial learner’s permit holders to wait at least 14 days before taking the skills test to earn a full commercial driver’s license. If you’re not ready to complete the skills test, it’s okay. Your CLP will be valid for 180 days. You will be able to renew your CLP once without being required to retake any written exams.

Obtaining a Nebraska CDL

After at least 14 days have passed, and you’re ready to complete your skills test, you can schedule your appointment. Be advised that skills exams are by appointment only, so you need to schedule an appointment ahead of time with your local NE DMV branch or an approved third-party tester.

You need to take the following with you to your appointment:

Commercial learner’s permit
Proof of identity
Medical paperwork

If you are NOT a U.S. citizen but you are in the country legally, you will also be required to bring proof of legal residency with you to your appointment. At your appointment, you need to be prepared to complete the following tests:

Pre-trip vehicle inspection
Basic control skills
On-road driving test

You must arrange to complete your skills exam in the same type of vehicle you plan on operating with your commercial learner’s permit. If you can’t, a restriction might be placed on your license. Once you’ve passed each part of the CDL journey, the last step is to pay the appropriate fee(s), and you will be an official commercial driver’s license. Congratulations!

Nebraska CDL Fees

The CDL fees in Nebraska are based on how long your license will be valid. If you’re younger than 21 years old, these fees are prorated depending on how many years you need your CDL to be valid.

Nebraska CDLs are valid for 5 years for anyone who is under 21 years old. Younger applicants must renew their CDL when they turn 21 years old. The following are the CDL fees in Nebraska:

Commercial learner’s permit: $15
Commercial driver’s license valid for:
- Up to 1 year: $16
- Over 1 year, up to 2 years: $27
- Over 2 years, up to 3 years: $38
- Over 3 years, up to 4 years: $49
- 5 years: $60

Nebraska CDL Medical Requirements

To operate commercial vehicles in the state of Nebraska, you must prove to the state that you are physically fit for the job. To be deemed medically fit, you need an FMSCA-approved physician to help you complete a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (Form MCSA-5876).

You can submit a copy of the card to the Nebraska DMV at:

Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles

Driver Licensing Services

P.O. Box 94726

Lincoln, NE 68509

You can mail faxed copies to (402) 471-3157 and email scanned copies to [email protected].

The Nebraska DMV also requires all CDL applicants to inform the state of the type of driving they plan on doing known as the self-certification process. You must complete this process BEFORE attempting to obtain your initial commercial learner’s permit appointment.

Nebraska Military CDL Waivers

The Nebraska DMV has a program to help recent veterans or current service members obtain a CDL easily by having the skills exam waived. To qualify, you must currently be licensed and either currently enlisted in the service or reserves or discharged from the military within the past 12 months and have held a position in the service where you operated a military motor vehicle equivalent to a commercial motor vehicle.

Eligible applicants must submit an Application for Military Skills Test Waiver (click here to download) to the NE DMV with the commanding officer’s Certification of Commercial Driving Experience filled out correctly.

Federal Self-Certification Requirements

You must self-certify the type of vehicle you’re operating with the NE DMV. You are required to certify one of the following driving categories:

Non-excepted interstate

Applying for a Nebraska Motorcycle License

As you may know, Nebraska is full of beautiful, scenic farmsteads and other wonders of nature, which is perfect for a motorcycle ride. Before you hop on your motorcycle, you must be licensed to operate a motorcycle in Nebraska through the NE DMV.

New Residents of Nebraska

Once you establish residency in Nebraska, you have 30 days to transfer your out-of-state license. If you have an out-of-state motorcycle license or endorsement you want to transfer, you will need to follow the same process as transferring your out-of-state driver’s license. You may be required to complete a written and/or behind-the-wheel exam. However, depending on your situation, these exams might be waived. You can contact your local NE DMV for more details.

Nebraska Motorcycle License Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years old to earn your Nebraska motorcycle license. If you have already earned your provisional operator’s permit (POP), you need to complete a vision test. Your POP must have a motorcycle endorsement and be issued within the last 24 months. This is only required if you’re at least 18 years old.

If this is the first license you’re applying for in the state of Nebraska, and you’ve never had a POP, you must pass the vision and written test, and an on-road motorcycle test. If you’re under 18 years old, there are additional requirements.

You must pass the vision test, attain a provisional operator’s permit for at least 12 months, and have less than 3 points on your driving record. Points are counted from the past 12 months before you apply. Regardless of your license status, you must pay the applicable motorcycle licensing fees.

Nebraska Motorcycle Licensing Process

There are different ways you can complete the motorcycle licensing process in Nebraska. You can go to your local NE DMV or pass the NE motorcycle education course.

How to Get a Nebraska Motorcycle License

The NE DMV offers a way for you to quickly and easily earn your motorcycle license. However, passing a motorcycle education course can bypass the state agency.

If you stick with the NE DMV, you can visit your local NE DMV branch and submit the following:

Proof of your:
- Identity
- Nebraska residency (2 documents are required)
A completed New, Renewal, and Replacements Permit, Class O, Class M, and State ID Card Data Form (Form DMV 06-104)
Pay the appropriate fee

You’ll also need to pass a vision exam. If this is the first license you’re applying for in Nebraska, you must complete the following:

Complete the written test (this test might be waived if you have an NE learner’s permit that is currently valid or expired less than 1 year)
Take an on-road motorcycle test at an approved location (tests may be administered either in traffic or on a course)

You can ask your local NE DMV staff for more information regarding testing fees and times. If you currently have a provisional operator’s permit, you are only required to complete a vision test if your POP includes a motorcycle endorsement or is a Class M POP and you received your POP within 24 months of applying, which is ONLY required for applicants who are at least 18 years old.

If you fail the exam, you can retake your behind-the-wheel exam, but this process becomes more involved if you fail your skills exam 3 times. During this time, you will NOT be eligible to reapply for your motorcycle permit until you bring proof of completing an NE DMV-approved driving trainer course or have your NE learner’s permit for at least 90 days.

Nebraska Motorcycle Education Courses

Attending an NE DMV-approved motorcycle education course is a way to earn your license without spending more time at the NE DMV. If this is the first license you’ve applied for in Nebraska, you will be able to waive your motorcycle knowledge and skills tests by completing a course.

When you contact a program, make sure you ask about the cost of the course and the next steps that are required to receive your license after passing the class.

Nebraska Motorcycle License Fees

The NE DMV bases its license fees on your age and the time the license will be valid. If you are at least 21 years old, your motorcycle license will be valid for 5 years and cost $29. If you are younger than 21, these fees will vary depending on how far you are from 21 years old.
