CO-RCSA SB251 Driver Licenses and IDs

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 non-REAL ID compliant driver license, regardless of immigration status, as long as they meet all requirements and provide proof of identity and Colorado residency.

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. 

For undocumented residents

Appointments are required at a full-service SB 251 driver license office (see map above). To schedule an appointment, visit myDMV.Colorado.gov, call 303-205-2335 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or contact one of our CO-RCSA partners. These nonprofit groups won't charge you for an appointment, but if you are charged, please contact the Colorado Office of the Attorney General.

For temporarily legal residents

You may apply at any state driver license office but you will need to make an appointment.
