Colorado 150th anniversary license plates offered Aug. 1

The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles is proud to announce the state’s 150th anniversary license plates will be available to purchase on Colorado Day (Aug. 1) until July 2027. Coloradans can purchase either license plate online or at a county motor vehicle office. The license plates will cost $8.06 per pair, in addition to regular taxes and fees. The two license plates are based on the Historic Colorado Contest’s winning designs, which were determined in a statewide competition to design, then choose the winners in two divisions — Under 13 and Over 13. More than 34,000 Coloradans voted in the contest.

Motor vehicle express kiosk coming soon

Garfield County is anticipating installation of a Colorado Motor Vehicle Express Kiosk in Rifle, tentatively scheduled for the end of 2023. The self-service motor vehicle kiosk will offer a fast and easy way to renew your vehicle registration, obtain a duplicate registration, replace your registration tab, and check the status of a title. Residents of any participating county in Colorado are able to utilize express kiosks, statewide. You can find out more information online.

Updates to motor vehicle legislation

New Colorado residents have 90 days to register all vehicles in the state before late fees are assessed. Temporary plate fees are $7.03 and late fees will be assessed if the vehicle isn’t registered prior to the temporary permit’s expiration. Colorado license plates are no longer transferable after March 1, 2023, unless they’re personalized or specialty plates.
