  1. October Vehicle Registration Renewals: Registration renewal postcards mailed in October mistakenly listed insurance requirements for everyone. This was an error. If you already have car insurance, please renew your registration online or at a kiosk as usual. For more information on the data error, please see the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles statement.

  2.  Until this fall, dependent on staffing, DMV branches will have rotating closures. View a schedule of all closures.

UNOFFICIAL DENVER MOTOR VEHICLE WEBSITES

The official website for information regarding registering your vehicle, renewing your vehicle registration, or titling your vehicle in the City and County of Denver is www.denvergov.org/dmv. If you’re not on a denvergov.org webpage, then you may be on an unofficial website that is not associated with the City and County of Denver.

Unofficial DMV websites try to represent the state and county level DMVs and contain similar information but not approved by the City and County of Denver. Some unofficial websites may also ask for your personal and financial information. Please use caution before providing personal information to any unofficial website.
