What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you arrive at the DMV, you’ll check in with the front desk and show them your PDF confirmation. You’ll be given a ticket.
We've created some DMV Appointment Online Check-In Frequently Asked Questions to assist you.
Colorado law (C.R.S. 42-2-107 and 42-2-302) requires fingerprinting for all applications.
If you are being issued a credential in the office, no matter the age of your current photo, you have to take another photograph.
Photograph Guidelines:
- Customers must remove any eyeglasses. Eye patches do NOT have to be removed.
- Since the neck and shoulders are part of the captured image and must be visible, the neck and shoulders cannot be obscured by hair or clothing.
- Applicants must remove any coats, scarves, or clothing that interfere with the outline of the shoulders unless they have nothing underneath.
- Hats, headwear, scarves, “do-rags”, chapeaux, hüte, sombreros, or caps are not permitted for either men or women, except for religious reasons.
- Please do not wear bulky clothing when coming to the office for the purposes of following photo guidelines.
All customers getting a permit or driver license in person at a driver license office must pass a basic eye exam conducted by a Driver License Technician before issuance. You do not need to bring in your last eye exam documentation.
If you FAIL the eye exam, you will be given a form (DR 2402) for your optometrist to fill out. You must bring it back on your rescheduled appointment to receive your credential.
You may be required to pay additional fees and/or take applicable tests. Please be prepared to pay any necessary fees during your appointment. View a list of potential fees here.
During your office visit, you'll be asked about becoming an organ, eye, or tissue donor. Click here to learn more about this life-saving program.
Military/Veteran Indicators
You will need your DD214 form or Retired/Active Military ID. A VA card alone will not be accepted.
Disability Identifier
Residents who might not be able to effectively communicate with first responders due to cognitive, neurological, mental health, sensory needs, chronic illness, chronic pain, and/or physical disability can choose to add a disability identifier symbol to their driver license or ID card. Click here to learn more.
You will get a paper temporary credential at the appointment and your physical credential will be mailed to within 30 days from issuance. Check the status of your credential at:
- Where is my driver license/ID?
- Email the Returned Credential Office at dor_dmv_dl_returned_credentials@state.co.us;
- Call 303-205-5600 (press 1, then press 3.); or
- Return to the office that issued your credential.
