Department of Motor Vehicles

In Colorado, a one month grace period is given for all renewals. (Example: If your plates expire in February, you have until the last working day in March to renew your plates.) Beginning June 1, 2009 – mandatory late fees will be collected starting after the one month grace period for every month past the grace period on your vehicle up to a maximum of $100.00. This fee is in addition to standard renewal fees.

If transferring a Colorado title to your name without a lien, a new title may be printed. The person whose name is on the title that is being transferred to must be present with a photo ID Note: Secure and verifiable Identification will be required.

Our office will be happy to give an estimate on your plate cost. Required information will be the year, make and model of the vehicle (a VIN # would get the estimate closer.) However, this is only an estimate. Without the actual title work we are unable to give the exact amount. Any estimate given (exact or not) will change if we go into a new month, because the ownership tax is charged from the date of purchase until you plate the vehicle, based on the value and year of the vehicle.

The license is valid upon receipt, and must be used within 30 days anywhere within the State of Colorado. There is a $30 cash fee required, checks will not be accepted. A license issued by another state is not valid in Colorado.

    • 16 & 17 – Consent of both parents, or the parent having sole legal custody, or guardian, or judicial approval is required.
    • Under 16 – Consent of both parents, or the parent who has legal custody or with whom the child is living and judicial approval (court order) are required.

    PROOF OF DATE OF BIRTH MUST BE PROVIDED BY BOTH PARTIES: Example: valid State driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, military identification, valid State Identification Card, or call the Logan County Clerk and Recorder’s Office.

    PREVIOUS MARRIAGE: If either party has previously been married: the date, place, and court in which
    the marriage was dissolved or declared invalid or the date and place of death of the former spouse will need to be provided. Divorce must be final prior to entering into another marriage. Some states have a waiting period.
