Practice Pointer: By Nebraska law, anyone under age 18 must hold their learner's permit for six months before applying for their POP. So, don't wait to get your Learner's Permit once you turn 15!

You can register for driver education as long as you have a valid learner's permit - but if you haven't held it for six months, you won't be able to turn it in for your POP as soon as you complete Drive Education.

Social Security Number Requirement: The DMV will ask for proof of your social security number when you apply for your POP, it is not needed to register for driver education.
