Beginning Jan 4, our office (Motor Vehicle, Elections, & Recording) will pilot expanded public hours Mon-Thurs (7:30am-5pm) and be closed to the public on Friday. See county press release for more details & other county offices participating.

Online License Plate Orders – Please note that online orders for license plates are significantly backlogged. If you need plates, we recommend that you contact our office (either fill out the online contact form or call 303.413.7710) rather than order them online. If you are waiting for plates that you ordered online, please contact our office so we can issue you a temporary permit at no charge. In most cases, requests for new plates or a temporary permit can be handled remotely without the need for an office visit.

Motor Vehicle

Boulder County Motor Vehicle Offices are Open - Appointments recommended

Our office remains open for walk-ins but will continue to limit the number of people in our office and lobby. This may increase wait times outdoors.

We highly encourage the public to access motor vehicle services in the following manner:

Try completing your transaction online at www.MyDMV.Colorado.gov. (Note: we recommend that you do not request license plates online at this time – see red alert at top of page). Over 30 motor vehicle services are available online, including:
- Vehicle registration / tag renewals (even when expired or in the grace month)
- Duplicate registration or title requests
- Address changes
- Disability parking placard applications and renewals
- And more!
If you are unable to complete your transaction online or are unsure if you can complete your transaction online, please complete our Contact Us form or call 303.413.7710. We may be able to help you avoid the need for an office visit.
If you are certain your service requires an in-person visit, please consider making an appointment. (Tip: Our Lafayette and Longmont offices have more appointment times available than our Boulder office).

Asistencia en Español – Vea nuestra nueva página web: Información de vehículos de motor en español. Si usted necesita más ayuda, por favor llene la forma para “Contáctenos” o llame al 303.413.7710. Uno de nuestros técnicos que hablan Español pueden ayudarle y tal vez evitarle venir a la oficina.
