Driver Licence Test

Yes, you have to have a valid Colorado Instruction Permit. If under the age of 18, you have to have held that permit for at least 1 full year. You may test on a valid out of state instruction permit.

Unless you have a DUI Interlock restriction on your permit, you will test in our vehicle.

If you have a DUI interlock restricted permit, you must bring a vehicle with an interlock device installed, front and back plates, proof of insurance and registration, no large cracks in the windshield, windows and doors that open and close from the inside, and all lights working.
