Do you need an appointment to renew your license

#FFFFFF

Step 1:

First, try to use mydmv.colorado.gov. Our site has both driver license and vehicle services and offers more than 30 online services there.

Please only schedule an appointment if you are not eligible to use online services. For help with title and vehicle registration, please contact your county motor vehicle office.

Please note: First-time CO-RCSA applicants must schedule an in-person appointment at one of the following offices.

Step 2:

Know what service you need. This will avoid unnecessary cancellations and will allow you to be prepared for your visit. Scheduling an appointment for a different transaction than the one you intend to make will only result in the cancellation of the appointment (prior to or at the window). 

Please note: State Driver License offices are not currently offering driving skills tests. If you need to schedule a driving skills test, please use this list to find a school that’s offering driving skills tests.

Step 3:

Choose the time, date, and location for your appointment. Please only schedule one appointment -- scheduling multiple appointments takes available appointments from fellow Coloradans. Multiple appointments made by the same customer for the same service may result in the cancellation of all appointments for that customer.

After completing these three steps, you are ready to schedule your appointment. To do so, please use ouronline scheduler.
