Appointment Scheduling

Visit the Schedule an appointment page.

• Please provide a valid email address and phone number that you will have access to your confirmation documents. 
  • Also, please be sure that the appointment is in the name of the person who needs it and that the name is spelled correctly.
• We will email you a confirmation code, appointment details, and instructions for your visit. When you get to the office, the technician can access the information you provided online! 

Important Notes for Booking Your Appointment:

• For the best experience, use a computer. If using a phone or tablet, use Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft Edge, and allow pop-ups.
• You must click "CONFIRM" to finish. If using a phone, scroll to the bottom to find the "CONFIRM" button.
  After clicking "CONFIRM," you should see a confirmation page. If you don't, your appointment is not booked.
  • If you don't get a confirmation, your appointment likely wasn't made. It's possible someone else booked that time slot first. You may need to choose a different time.
  • At the next screen, do NOT hit CANCEL. Either hit PRINT or close the window to schedule your appointment. If you hit “Cancel” your appointment will be cancelled and you will have to start over.
• There is no fee for scheduling appointments.
• You may also schedule an appointment by calling 720-295-2965. Customers with gaming or sports betting questions should visit the Division of Gaming website.
