Canon City, Colorado Driver's License Testing

Driver’s Permit Requirements:

• A valid Colorado learner’s permit is required for all ages.
• If you’re under 18, you can test with a valid out-of-state permit, but you’ll need a pre-registration code.
• Those under 18 must have held their permit for at least 12 months.
• Remember to bring your glasses or contacts if you need corrective lenses.

Vehicles with Interlock Restrictions:

If your permit has an interlock restriction, you’ll need to provide your own vehicle, which must meet these requirements:

• Interlock device installed
• Both front and back plates attached
• Current insurance and registration
• No windshield cracks
• Fully functional doors and lights

What to Expect on Test Day:

• Arrive prepared and on time. Please review our refund policy.
• Tests are typically conducted in our vehicles unless you have an interlock restriction.
• Your Canon City driving test will last about 15-20 minutes, followed by a short paperwork session.
• The route is state-approved and does not include freeway driving or parallel parking.
• Tests are scored based on the Colorado Driver Handbook and state driving standards.
