Yes they do.

You will almost certainly want to start with the Unclassified program which will test the basics of your driver like IOCTLs and system power states.

Good luck,

Assuming you have already setup your appropriate code signing
certificates and WHQL account, a driver signing usually costs $250 per
driver per OS, with discounts available depending on LogoFest
attendance, submitting 32bit and 64bit drivers at the same time, etc.
