your skills test in a sealed envelope to deliver to the county
DMV. The envelope must not be opened. If it is determined the
envelope has been opened or tampered with, your results will
be held pending ITD verication and approval. If you fail, the
skills test examiner will submit the failed skills test results to
ITD to record on your driving record. You do not have driving
privileges until the passing skills test results are recorded on
your driving record and a driver’s license is issued.
