Driver Ed Rules & Resources

DRIVER EDUCATION PERMIT

Teens can start the 30 hours of course at 14 years 6 months of age. To take the written exam, students must be within 30 days of their 15th birthday. At Anshor, we will allow your student to come back and take the written exam when they meet these criteria. The completion certificate is only valid for 180 days, so it must be taken to the DMV within that 180-day window.

  • Available to customers 15 years to 15 years, 6 months.
  • Expires 3 years after issuance.
  • Must present a completed Affidavit of Liability and Guardianship and a completed Affidavit of Completion of a Driver Education Classroom Course indicating the minor has completed and passed the classroom portion of a state-approved driver education course within 6 months prior to applying for the instruction permit.
  • While holding this type of permit, you may only drive with your driver education instructor or the person(s) who signed the Affidavit of Liability (DR2460) until you are 15 years 6 months. At 15 years 6 months, you may drive only with the person(s) who signed the affidavit of Liability (DR 2460) until you are 18. This restriction is automatically lifted when you reach 18 years of age.
  • While you are under 18, if the person who signed the DR 2460 does not hold a valid Colorado driver's license, they may appoint an Alternate Permit Supervisor to supervise you while you are driving. The Alternate Permit Supervisor must hold a valid Colorado Driver's License and be 21 years of age or older. Drive time with an Alternate Permit Supervisor will count toward the 50 hour total required on the log sheet. The person who signed the DR 2460 may also allow any person 21 years of age or older, who holds a valid license, to supervise you while you are driving but that driving time does not count toward the 50 hour total required on the log sheet.
