*Please Note: 

  • If you have an out of state permit or license you must contact the Colorado State DMV to understand what steps you must take before you are eligible to take a third party drive test. Third party testing facilities must have a Colorado State application code to be able to test or enter you into the Colorado DMV for any tests. 
  • If you have taken a drivers test and failed you cannot take another drivers test on the same date. ONLY 1 DRIVE TEST PER DAY is allowed by the State DMV.
  • If you have and expired license you must take a written permit test first at the DMV to be eligible to take a drivers test.
  • Out of country permits or international license holders will be required to take and pass the written test at the DMV, meet Driver License identification requirements, and be issued a Colorado permit before they may take behind the wheel instruction or take a drive test.
  • You are responsible for ensuring you've met the state's requirements before scheduling the Driving Test with TopCops. Please be sure you've taken the proper steps before scheduling, as we do charge a $60 rescheduling fee if you need to reschedule and drive test fees are non-refundable if you need to cancel. Drive Test Completions are valid for 180 days from the date of completion, so you will want to visit the DMV online or in person before then to upgrade your permit to a Colorado Driver's License.
