When a Nevada applicant is under 18, who must co-sign the driver's license application?
-
A.
A licensed instructor from a DMV-approved school
-
B.
Any adult over 18 with a valid Nevada driver's license
-
C.
Both parents, even if only one has legal custody
-
D.
A custodial parent, legal guardian, or other authorized person Correct
The answer is "A custodial parent, legal guardian, or other authorized person"
The manual specifies that a parent with custody, a legal guardian, or another person authorized by NRS 483.300 must co-sign the application of a driver under 18. The co-signer then shares liability for the minor's driving.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A licensed instructor from a DMV-approved school
A driving instructor certifies course completion but is not authorized to co-sign a minor's license application. This answer confuses the instructor's course-certification role with the parental co-signer role.
B. Any adult over 18 with a valid Nevada driver's license
The manual restricts co-signers to specific relationships; a stranger's adult license does not qualify. This answer broadens co-signer eligibility from parent/guardian to any licensed adult.
C. Both parents, even if only one has legal custody
The manual requires only the parent with custody or another single authorized signer, not both parents. This answer adds a second-parent-signature requirement the manual does not impose.
