Colorado Laws and Regulations on License Plates
Colorado DMV: The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of the Department of Revenue plays a pivotal role in managing various aspects of vehicle ownership and operation. It is responsible for overseeing critical processes such as vehicle registration, titling, license plate issuance, and driver’s licenses. Through its network of offices and online services, the DMV facilitates seamless transactions for Colorado residents, covering everything from initial vehicle registrations to renewals and title transfers.
License Plate Display Requirements: Most vehicles in Colorado are required to display two license plates—one on the front and one on the rear. Motorcycles and trailers only need a rear plate.
Types of License Plates: Colorado offers standard, specialty, and personalized plates, along with specific plates for motorcycles, trailers, and various causes and organizations.
Design and Serial Format: The typical serial format is “ABC-D12” for license plates, with personalized and specialty plates offering additional customization options.
Transferring Plates: The owner must provide the signed title, bill of sale, proof of insurance, and a completed VIN verification form, along with the necessary fees.
Renewing registration: Renewal is required annually, necessitating proof of insurance, payment of fees, and, in some regions, emissions testing.
Replacing Stolen, Damaged, or Lost Plates: This requires reporting to local law enforcement and obtaining a police report (in case of loss or theft), and visiting the county motor vehicle office with the report, identification, and payment for new plates.
