Driver’s license fee up $1 beginning in July
    Beginning July 1, the fee for a Colorado driver’s license increased by $1 — from $26 to $27. Other fees remain the same. This change was a result of HB16-1415 for the purpose of offsetting the cost of providing Division of Motor Vehicles driver services. The fee for a driver’s license under SB-251 (Colorado Road and Community Safety Act) did not change, because the cost for providing this service is already fully recouped.
    For additional fee information, visit www.colorado.gov/dmv/driver-license-and-related-fees. For more information on services provided by the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles, visit www.colorado.gov/dmv. Eighteen online services, including driver’s license renewal, are available at mydmv.colorado.gov.
