Mary Kay was an angel, I can’t tell you how supportive she was as I transitioned my mother’s car title.

Boulder County Clerk & Recorders Office is supposed to be a government entity to serve The People, which they are not… serving The People. Like a private business they chose to only be available to The Public four days a week.

Brendan was fantastic! I purchased a car with an Oregon title, and Brendan helped me get the title transferred and the car registered in no time. I actually brought an insurance document that didn't work for my "proof of insurance", but he kept the tab open for me on his computer while I sat in the waiting area for a few minutes so I could get there proper document, without having to go back through the entire queue. Very much appreciated his helpfulness!

How much time do I have to register a newly purchased used RV with an out-of-state registration?

Reed Glenn | Oct 25, 2020
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2020

Hi Reed - You have 60 days from the date of purchase to register your RV. If you purchased the RV from a private party and do not have a temporary permit, you will need to register it ASAP if you plan to drive it. (Without a temp. permit, you can only legally drive it from the place where you purchased it to where you are storing it.) If you purchased it from a dealership and they gave you a temporary permit, you have until the expiration of the permit (usually 60 days) to get it registered. In either case, you will likely need to visit one of our three branch locations (Boulder, Lafayette, or Longmont) to register your RV (unless you bought it from a dealership and they mailed all of the paperwork directly to us). To avoid a potentially long wait time, we recommend that you make a registration appt on our website: www,BoulderCounty.org/MotorVehicle. Before your appt, please check our Vehicle Registration page to make sure you have all of the items you need to register your RV.

Where do I go to get a new license PLATE? My car is registered in California but I need to register it here.

Rob Nickson | Aug 26, 2022

Current wait times are actually very short, no need for an appointment. It should be around 15 mins if you walk in. You’ll need to bring your title and insurance, if it’s financed that’s a bit of a process but they’ll help you.

Are y’all open today? Online and on the phone it says y’all are open but the doors are locked and the parking lot is completely empty.

Unfortunately, google listings have to managed very individually (human has to update every listing). We cannot update the hours on google when there is an emergency closure due to a snow storm. Sorry for the inconvenience. Always check our website or regular news when in doubt when the weather is bad. The county closes from guidance from the Sherriff's office.

I lost my drivers license. Should I come here or the one on Iris Ave?

Nico Bennett | Nov 29, 2021
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Nov 29, 2021

County DMV offices only deal with vehicle registration and title services. Visit the Iris office, which is run by the state or see their website for online replacement options: https://dmv.colorado.gov/drivers

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in to register a newly purchased car?

Anitta Frant | Oct 25, 2021
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2021

You can walk in, but you will likely face a longer wait times, especially during the last few / first few days of the month. If you need to come in person, our Lafayette and sometimesLongmont offices typically (but not always) have shorter wait times. And depending on your purchase circumstances, you might be able to actually complete this online.

Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2021

If you mean a driver's license permit, no. That is handled directly by the state office. See https://mydmv.colorado.gov/

how do you get a new month tag for your license plate?

fred stengel | Oct 25, 2021
Jillian M. | Oct 11, 2022

There is no way to get just a month tab online. Call the Motor Vehicle and they can mail one to you. You can also walk-in, but maybe ask the Information Desk or greeter for a month sticker before waiting in line.

The license office is at 2850 Iris Ave F, Boulder, CO 80301. What you listed above is the county clerk's office. They don't handle licenses at the clerk's office.

From Texas & buying a Colorado vehicle in Boulder. What needs to be done to complete our (seller/buyer) transaction? The process in Texas is simple bringing the truck in - hoping it's as easy in Colorado!

I never received the post card in January that tells me whether I need an emissions test or not, and my registration expires in February. Can I get an emissions test on my car without a form or request from you people? Sharon

Sharon Diehl | Oct 25, 2021
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2021

Hi Sharon, We wouldn't advise you to do that. If you expire in February, you have until the end of March to renew (grace month). However, if you are driving out of state, we do recommend you renew in Feb as not all states honor our grace month. I was informed the Feb renewal cards were mailed late by the state. That said, the best way to find out if you need emissions is to quickly fill out the contact us form with all your info and question and someone can look up and email you back. Here is a link to the contact us: https://www.bouldercounty.org/records/motor-vehicle/online-contact-form/

I need a new registration and a temp tag asap. Where can I go?

I sold my car and need to cancel my plates. Can you help me by phone or has to be in person?

Juanita Cardenas | Oct 25, 2021
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2021

You should call the office. Typically plates stay with the car: 303-413-7710

My husband bought a used car from a used car dealer. It was paid in full. We received a title, bill of sale, sales tax receipt for vehicle sales. The vehicle has an emissions test and is insured. We do not have a Title complete notice.

Sandra Garcia | Oct 25, 2021
Jillian M. | Oct 11, 2022

You will only be mailed a title complete notice if the paperwork was sent directly to the Motor Vehicle office (usually mailed in by a dealer or lienholder). Sounds like the dealer gave you all the original paperwork vs. mailing it in, so the notice is not needed in your situation.

Where can I go to get my license in Boulder county right now? I’ve been trying to figure this out all day since the Dmv isn’t taking any appointments for the drivers test. Number? I don’t need to take a class. I have my permit. I’m 28 years old.

Christopher T Rogers | Oct 25, 2020
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2020

Hi Christopher - You can find a link to a list of third parties that are conducting drive tests on the state's Division of Motor Vehicles website here: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dmv/adult-license Please note that our office only handles vehicle titling and registration, not driver's licenses. If you have additional questions, you can call the Boulder Driver License office at (303) 442-3006.

Do I have to make a reservation to come in and renew a drivers license? The driver is over 65 and the previous drivers license has expired.

China Leonard | Oct 25, 2020
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2020

Hi China - You'll want to check the State's website, https://mydmv.colorado.gov/ for that answer. In most Colorado counties, the county MV offices handle vehicle registration only (that is this locations on 33rd St) and the state office handles driver licenses. That location is on Iris.

I have been calling and emailing the office with no response. I bought a new car in boulder 4/17 and have not received my plates. Do I need to have an appointment to pick up my plates? The first appointment is 9/14 and my temp plates expire 8/23.

Kristi Gould | Oct 25, 2020
Boulder County Clerk & Recorder - Motor Vehicle Division - Boulder | Oct 25, 2020

I apologize if you have not been able to get through our phones. I also know emails are backed up, as staff has been working over weekends to get through them. If your temp tags don't expire until Aug, please give staff some time to respond. We are always busiest at the end/beginning of the month and it is the 1st of July. Alternatively, we are open for walk-ins, though I would recommend waiting to come in as the beginning of the month is always busy.

I have just received the title for my paid-in-full car from the lien holder/lender. What do I need to do to get a "clear" title without the lien holders name/attachment?

Mary Stoops | Oct 25, 2020
Jillian M. | Oct 11, 2022

You'll need to bring in your title and also a lien release letter stating the lienholder no longer has interest in the vehicle. It costs $7.20. If needed, call or email Motor Vehicle for lien release letter requirements.

Is the office open without appointments now?

ian anthony | Oct 25, 2020
