Out-of-State Transfer - Adult

Transferring out-of-state driver license process

  • You may transfer your valid, out-of-state driver license to Colorado. You must schedule an appointment.
  • Per Colorado Revised Statute 24-60-1106, the license you previously held will be voided (it will be marked with a single hole punch in the upper right corner). You may only hold one valid identification document at a time.
  • If you do not have your out-of-state driver license, you may provide a motor vehicle record from your previous state of residence to waive the written exam and drive tests, but you are still required to meet identity requirements.
    • Your Motor Vehicle Record must:
      • Be printed within the last 30 days, and
      • Indicate valid driving privilege or privilege expired less than one year

When visiting a driver license office, please bring the following:

  • Your valid, or expired less than one year, out of state driver license.
  • The required identification documents.
  • If you are younger than 21, an Affidavit of Identity must be signed by your parent/legal guardian in front of a driver license employee.
  • Applicable fee.

Please note - if you have had a name change, you will need to bring name change documents.
