Licensing is not a formality. It is how Colorado checks instructors, training cars and course content. If a school is not licensed, its lessons may not count toward a license or an insurance discount.
In Colorado, driving schools are licensed through the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles.
- Search Colorado’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- 30-hour driver education (online allowed): required for permit applicants aged 15 to 15½. From January 1, 2027 it is required for all applicants 15 to 17. (source)
- 6 hours behind the wheel with an approved driving school for permit holders under 16½, alongside a 50-hour drive log. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles before you enroll.
