Colorado fee guide
Colorado instruction permit and testing fees
Colorado publishes a current statewide DMV fee schedule, while approved third-party schools may charge their own testing or training fees. Check both before paying.
- State feepermit/license schedule
- Retest feeseparate DMV charge can apply
- Third partyschool/testing charge may vary
Use the current state fee schedule
Credential and retest fees can change, so the current DMV fee page should control rather than a copied amount from an old article.
Third-party fees are separate
Colorado uses approved private schools for drive skills testing. Those providers may charge fees separate from the state credential fee.
Budget for the whole process
Depending on your age and route, costs can include driver education, permit issuance, retesting if needed, third-party skills testing and final license issuance.
