Those new to Colorado must get new license plates within 30 days of establishing residency or employment. Out-of-state students and military personnel don’t have to get Colorado license plates if they have valid plates from their home state.
The county handles all motor vehicle registrations, mailing annual notices to remind residents to register. Car registration requirements include a valid emissions sticker, vehicle identification number verification, lien holder information, title, and current registration.

Colorado requires that new residents apply for a state driver’s license within 30 days of relocating. If your current driver’s license is valid, you’ll need to pass a brief written exam and eye test. Licenses must be renewed every five years. Out-of-state students and military personnel are not required to obtain a Colorado driver’s license if they have a valid home state license.
