Just like in other states in the US, you can renew your driver’s license online by visiting the Division of Motor Vehicles (DVM) website. This service is available to those with valid driver’s permit obtained in the state and meeting the set requirements. Though not everyone will be successful in renewing their driver’s license through the online portal, one may opt to do so via email.
It’s essential to renew your driver’s license if it’s expired — unless you have decided to quit driving. In Colorado, it’s illegal to drive with an expired or invalid driver’s license. If you encounter the police, you’ll land into trouble; you’ll pay a fine, or you may attract a stiffer penalty depending on your crime.
These are the requirement on getting your drivers license. You must:
- Be aged between 21-65 years
- have permanent residence or be a US citizen
- Have renewed the previous license by yourself
- Maintain the same names since the last renewal
- Have no driving violations or outstanding tickets
- Have had a valid driving license or one that expired in less than a year
- Have paid your driver’s license renewal fee via a valid debit card or credit card
For details on when to renew your driving license, visit the DVM website, or confirm from their renewal notice.
Colorado Driver’s License Renewal by Mail
A majority of drivers in Colorado could renew their driver’s license by email if they met the following requirements.
- Are over 21years old
- Renewed the previous license in-person
- Have maintained the same names since the last renewal
Those serving in the military and are working outside Colorado can renew their driver’s license provided it isn’t over a year since it expired. Besides, the military soldiers can ask for an extension of the renewal date for a maximum period of three years. If you want to access this service as a soldier, you should fill the request for extension form RD2989 from the DMV’s website.
If you live permanently in Colorado, but you’re out of the state for a long duration, you can also request for an extension of the driving license renewal deadline. To qualify for this service, you must submit the request before your current driver’s license expires. Additionally, you should have no records of volitions or pending tickets.
Those eligible for email renewal usually receive a notification from DMV informing them they can use email to renew their driver’s license.
If your driver’s permit is about to expire or it has expired already, you should renew immediately to avoid issues with the law enforcers.…
