Motor Vehicle Registration Renewal

Online
 
The quickest and most efficient way to process registration renewals is by utilizing the State of Colorado online renewal service. 
 
To pay using an eCheck, the administrative processing fee is reduced to $1.00 per transaction.  

Credit card payments are accepted online only at this time. The administrative processing fee is the item fee plus $.75 multiplied by 2.25%. (item fee + .75) x 0.0225.

Note: Administrative processing fees are non-refundable

 
You will have the opportunity to review all applicable fees prior to finalizing your transaction. If you do not wish to pay the fee, you have the option to cancel your online transaction and pay via a traditional, offline method. Online payment is an alternative to traditional types of payments and is considered voluntary. We appreciate your support of Colorado.gov.

Mail
 
The mail in process is available by utilizing the renewal reminder postcard that has a blue sticker containing the county office’s mailing address.
 
Please make all checks payable to "Manager of Finance" and include any required documents as stated on the renewal card (i.e., insurance, emissions, etc.) The average processing time for license renewals by mail is 10 business days. If you are already within your grace period, do not mail after the 15th of the month. This allows enough time for processing.

The State of Colorado requires the Denver Motor Vehicle Division to verify that each motorist has valid motor vehicle insurance before  registrations, titles or plates are issued.  Insurance companies are required by law to provide necessary information on their policy holders to the State database by the seventh day of each month.  If your insurance carrier has not provided proof of insurance to the State, you will be required to do so before your registration can be renewed.

The reverse side of the registration renewal card may be used to change your address if you move.  If your new residence is in a different county, you must contact and mail the registration renewal to your new county of residence.
 
For more information please contact us or visit any Denver Motor Vehicle branch office.
