1. How does Colorado's @HOME platform let a first-time applicant take the Driving Knowledge Test?
Why: Colorado's @HOME platform lets nearly any first-time applicant take the Driving Knowledge Test entirely online through a webcam-proctored app that takes random photo captures to confirm the same person is testing throughout, with no in-person visit required until it's time to pick up the permit.
2. What does a first attempt at Colorado's @HOME online Driving Knowledge Test cost, compared to a second online attempt?
Why: A first @HOME attempt costs about $6.50 in vendor/processing fees with no extra state charge, while a second online attempt adds an $11.50 state DMV fee on top of that same $6.50 -- though the first two attempts are free if taken in person at a state office instead.
3. According to the Colorado Driver Handbook, what does the Driving Knowledge Test (written test) cover, and when is it unavailable?
Why: The Driving Knowledge Test covers the handbook's contents -- road signs, driving under the influence, driving rules, safety rules, and legal items -- and written tests aren't given within 30 minutes of an office's scheduled closing time.
4. Where is Colorado's driving skills test (drive test) currently administered, per the Driver Handbook?
Why: The drive test cannot currently be scheduled at a state driver license office; it's primarily given by certified commercial driving schools, though some county-operated offices offer drive tests as well.
5. How soon must a new Colorado resident get a Colorado driver license after becoming a resident?
Why: Colorado residents must get a Colorado driver license within 30 days of becoming a resident, unless they're on active duty in the U.S. military, a military dependent, or residing in Colorado principally to further their education.
