Driver's License Information
Our offices do not administer written or driving tests, issue new Driver’s Licenses or new Identification Cards, issue new motorcycle licenses, issue motor vehicle driving records (MVR), process reinstatements, or issue and/or renew Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL).
We offer services for renewing both Colorado Driver's Licenses (no Commercial Driver's License) and Colorado Identification Cards at all three Clerk & Recorder locations: Centennial Hall (downtown at 200 S. Cascade), the Chapel Hills Branch (the north side of Chapel Hills Mall next to JC Penney), and the Powers Branch (southeast corner of Powers and Airport Road). These locations are also able to transfer existing licenses from other states, as well as process name and/or address changes, upon surrender of the existing Driver's License or Colorado Identification Cards.
To be issued a Colorado Driver’s License, you must prove the following elements: full legal name (must provide proof of middle name, middle initial only, or no middle name), identity, age and lawful presence in the United States. Acceptable examples may be a state or county certified birth certificate, issued from vital statistics in the county or state in which you were born, valid US passport or naturalization papers. In some cases, a single document may prove all four elements. However, it may be necessary for some applicants to provide multiple documents in order to prove all the required elements. All documents presented must be certified originals or certified amended originals or true copies certified by the issuing agency.
Identification Requirements – DR2300 Colorado Department of Revenue
When processing a name change, an original legal document authorizing the change is required. Acceptable examples may be a filed certified marriage certificate, filed certified divorce decree or a filed certified court order issued by a state or federal court or government. A name change will require the renewal of your Driver's License.
The replacement of lost or stolen Colorado Driver's Licenses or Colorado Identification Cards will be reissued by our office as a renewal license or renewal identification card with a state or county certified copy of your birth certificate, a valid US passport, or a social security card.
