Renew Vehicle Registration

NOTE - May 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 disregard the insurance notice, and renew your registration online, at a kiosk, or drop box as usual. For more information on the data error, please see the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles statement.

You must renew your vehicle registration annually. A courtesy renewal reminder is mailed within 30 days of your expiration month. Please be sure your address is up to date to ensure you receive your notice. Please renew your registration as usual online, at a self-service kiosk, in a drop box, or via mail.

Renew Online

Denver residents can save time and complete most registrations online. You can register online up until the last day of your grace period. If you are within the last 10 days of your grace period, you will receive a printable temporary registration to allow time for your new registration to be mailed to you.
