Colorado location guide
Colorado driver-license office locations
Colorado separates driver licensing from vehicle registration. Use a state driver-license office for permit/license services, not a county motor-vehicle office; use an approved school for the drive skills test.

Use a state driver-license office
Colorado's state driver-license offices handle driver services such as first permits, credentials and instruction-permit testing.
Do not confuse county vehicle offices with driver licensing
County motor-vehicle offices mainly handle vehicle title and registration transactions and generally cannot replace the state driver-license office for a first permit.
Drive tests use approved third parties
For the driving skills test, use Colorado DMV's approved driver education and testing school list.
