The Driver's License Section issues Driver's Licenses, Instruction Permits, Commercial Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards to Colorado residents.  The state requires proof that you are lawfully present in the US and are able to operate a motor vehicle safely (if applying for a license).

 

These operations are offered statewide.  See our Office Locations page for a list of the Driver's License network and a complete explanation of the services offered.
