DRIVER'S LICENSE: For our new residents, first of all WELCOME! Getting a driver's license: you must carry out within 30 days of becoming a resident. If you have resided in Colorado for 60 days, you are automatically considered a resident. Also, if you have purchased a home or business, have accepted employment or have registered to vote you are a resident.
The cost of a normal license is $15.60. For a motorcycle license it will cost a dollar more. For a commercial license it's $25.60 if you are only switching over from another state. A new commercial license is more.
New residents must apply for a Colorado title and registration for their vehicle immediately upon establishing Colorado residency. Application should be made in the County Motor Vehicle Office. In La Plata County the office is located in the Office Depot shopping center at 305 South Camino Del Rio. The following documents are required:
1. Your out of state title or current out of state registration.
2. A vehicle identification verification form (DR2087) completed by a law enforcement officer, a licensed Colorado motor vehicle dealer or a licensed Colorado emissions testing station.
3. A current and accurate odometer reading.
4. Proof of vehicle insurance coverage (insurance card, copy of insurance policy or letter from insurance company on the company's letterhead.)
5. If a lien exists on an out of state title, the lien holders name and address must be provided if not shown on the out of state registration.
Once you arrive at the county Motor Vehicle office, you will need to pay the title and registration fees. For out of state vehicles the car must have a VIN inspection. This can be done on the Motor Vehicle Registration. Your Colorado registration will be mailed to you if there are no liens filed against the vehicle. If there is a lien, the title will be mailed to the lien holder. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.
The cost of getting plates and tags is determined by several different factors which include:
1. The kind of vehicle it is.
2. The weight of the vehicle.
3. How much you paid for the vehicle.
4. Where you bought the vehicle and how long ago.
