Practice Driving Evaluation

Permit Requirements:

• To take the Colorado driver’s license driving test, you must have a valid Colorado permit, no matter your age.
• If you’re under 18, you can test once on a valid out-of-state permit with a pre-registration code.
• If you’re under 18, you must have held your permit for at least one year before testing.
• Don’t forget your glasses or contacts if your permit has a corrective lens restriction!

Vehicles with Interlock Restrictions:

If your permit has an interlock restriction, you’ll need to provide your own vehicle that meets the following requirements:

• Interlock device installed.
• Front and back license plates attached.
• Current insurance and registration.
• No windshield cracks.
• Doors must open and close from the inside.
• All lights must be fully functional.

Test Day Tips:

• Be sure to arrive on time and prepared for your Colorado driving test. If you need to review our refund policy, you can find it here.
• All tests are conducted in our vehicles, except for those with interlock restrictions.
• The driver’s license test takes about 15-20 minutes, and an additional 15 minutes for paperwork.
• You’ll be tested on a state-approved route — no parallel parking or freeway driving required!

After Your Test:

After your test, we’ll upload your results to the DMV’s system. Here’s what happens next:

• You may be able to get your driver’s license through the MyColorado App.
• The state will also send a physical copy of your license by mail.
• If you can’t access it through the app, you’ll need to schedule an appointment at the DMV.

Safe Driving Reminders for Your Test:

1. Always come to a complete stop — double-check that the ground outside your window has stopped moving.
2. Stick to the speed limit, especially in residential areas.
3. Keep both hands on the wheel at the 9 and 3 or 10 and 2 positions. Use push-pull or hand-over-hand techniques when turning.
4. Stay aware of what’s happening behind you — check your mirrors after every intersection.
