Colorado Road and Community Safety Act (CO-RCSA SB13-251)
The Colorado Road and Community Safety Act passed by the Colorado legislature in 2013 allows all Coloradans to obtain a standard driver license or I.D. card, regardless of immigration status, as long as they meet all requirements and provide proof of identity and Colorado residency. These credentials are not REAL ID compliant driver license and are issued to a variety of Coloradans, including undocumented immigrants, international students, refugees, temporary workers and pending asylees.
While driver licenses and identification cards issued under CO-RCSA can not be used for federal purposes, voting or public benefits, these credentials are a valid Colorado identification.
Standard driver licenses and I.D. cards are now available at any state driver license office. For more information, please reference this press release about the 10th Anniversary of Landmark Legislation (Spanish version).
