Colorado DMV Online Services Will Go Offline Feb. 13–17 for Statewide Upgrade
Colorado's myDMV online portal will shut down starting the evening of Friday, Feb. 13 through Monday, Feb. 16, with no state DMV office appointments on Tuesday, Feb. 17. The five-day outage will prevent Weld County residents from renewing registrations, updating vehicle records, and processing disability placards until the revamped system launches Feb. 18.
Residents with February expiration dates must act by Friday, Feb. 13, or risk lapses in registration and potential late fees.
The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles is upgrading its system in February, including its public e-services platform, myDMV, and will need to take the system offline from Feb. 13 to 17, according to a Weld County press notice. Vehicle registration, license plate renewal, vehicle address changes, and disability placard application and re-certification will not be available during this time.
Weld County Clerk and Recorder Carly Koppes encouraged residents to complete these items online, in-person, or at a kiosk before the system upgrade at mydmv.colorado.gov or wait until Feb. 18.
"While this is a temporary inconvenience in services provided to residents, the new system will offer an improved user-experience," Koppes said.
Once the new system launches Feb. 18, residents will access a secure customer portal to manage vehicles, licenses, and personal information as well as correspondence with the DMV. The redesigned interface will be fully accessible on all devices, according to Weld County's notice.
The state and county have not announced whether Weld County motor vehicle offices will operate with limited hours, whether self-service kiosks will be affected, or whether grace periods will be granted for registrations expiring during the outage. The provided state and county pages contain no statement granting automatic extensions, grace periods, or temporary leniency for registrations or licenses expiring during Feb. 13–17, according to research review of DMV and Weld County websites.
Residents seeking clarity on office hours, kiosk availability, or grace-period policies can contact the Weld County Clerk & Recorder's Motor Vehicle Department or Colorado DMV media relations at [email protected].
