COLORADO FAQ

11. I am trying to get a driver license in the state (or country) in which I now live. How can I get proof from Colorado that I had a Colorado driver license?

Driving records provided by the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles reflect activity that has been retained for the last seven years. Records are for seven years and cannot be limited to show any time period less than seven years. Our records are maintained in accordance with State and Federal law, which includes the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the requirements of the Federal Trade Commission.

You can get a copy of your driving record in two different ways. You can either go into a full service driver license office (please check the driver license office list to determine full service offices Colorado - Driver License Offices) and obtain a copy of the record, or, you can send in a written request to this office. In the request you will need to include your full name, date of birth, and your driver license number if available. A complete legible signature is required on the request.

The fee for a non-certified driving record is $2.20, the fee for a certified copy of a driving record is $2.70. We will accept a personal check or money order made out to the Department of Revenue. It could take 10 to 14 business days after the request is received before the request for a motor vehicle record is mailed out to the requestor
