Requirements for All Licenses

Proof of Address

New Proof of Address changes went into effect on August 19, 2015. Two proof of physical Colorado address documents are required for following applicants:

  • First time and new applicants
  • Individuals with a Colorado driver license, instruction permit, or identification card that has been expired over one year
  • Individuals changing the address on their card
  • Individuals reinstating their driving pivilege and require testing

Those individuals who are renewing their valid – or expired less than one year – Colorado driver license, instruction permit, or identification card that displays their current physical address can present only that document to meet the updated requirements.

Documents presented to the DMV must include the applicant’s name, full residential address and be dated whthin one year. Electronic documents or documents that only display a PO box number are not acceptable.

Junk mail or bulk mailing (coupons, weekly mailers, advertising) and any hand-written documents are not acceptable as proof of address documentation.

For a minor child, a parent can provide the address with their license, as long it is correct.
