Provide your social security number

Complete an Affidavit of Liability and Gaurdianship: form DR2460

If you are under 18...

The Minor Instruction Permit allows only the signer of the DR2460 and/or the Driver Education Instructor to complete and log the 50 hours required on the drive time log sheet.

If the person(s) who signed the DR2460 does not hold a valid Colorado driver's license, the signer may appoint an Alternate Permit Supervisor to supervise the minor while driving. The Alternate Permit Supervisor must hold a valid Colorado driver's license and be 21 years of age or older. Drive time with an Alternate Permit Supervisor will count toward the 50-hour total required.

The person(s) who signed the DR2460 may also allow any person 21 years of age or older who holds a valid license to supervise the minor while driving, but that driving time does not count toward the 50 hour requirement.
