Process to Get a Driver’s License in Colorado
Taking the Mystery out of the Licensing Process
Introducing Graduated Licensing Laws
Graduated Licensing Laws (GDL) help new drivers ease into the risk and responsibility of driving “gradually”. The most challenging time is early on and carried the most restrictions.
As proficiency, skill and judgement develop over time restrictions are relaxed / removed. Families should use GDL as a guide to develop their own standards.

1 All new Drivers under age 18 require a parent/legal guardian’s signed Affidavit of Liability and Guardianship to get an instruction permit. Whoever signs the Affidavit is responsible for the supervision of the minor’s driving and for any financial liability.
2 Logged drive time must be with an authorized, licensed parent, legal guardian or alternate permit supervisor appointed by the parent/guardian. Ten of those hours must be at night.
