Colorado DMV offices for the permit test

Colorado has two kinds of DMV office. State driver license offices, plus a few county-run ones, handle permits, the written test, licenses and IDs. County motor vehicle offices handle vehicle registration, plates and titles. For the permit test, book a driver license office through the state scheduler. Most are open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
