Is Your Colorado Driver’s License Canceled? Better Update Your Address
If you've failed to appear in court or not paid your parking tickets, you might want to make sure your Colorado driver's license has not been cancelled, and take the time to make sure your address with the Department of Revenue is correct.
According to the Denver Channel, the Colorado Department of Revenue cancelled drivers licenses over 80-thousand times last year for unpaid tickets or for people skipping out on court appearances. Out of those 81,000 cases, the tickets in question have to be paid within 45 days to avoid a cancellation of license.
Now get this, not all counties notify people if the process of canceling their license has been started, and if you do not have your correct address on file then you might not be receiving notifications that are sent. The Denver Channel says a lot of Coloradoan have found out about their cancelled licenses years after the fact, once they get pulled over for something and a police officer runs a check on their ID.
That would not be an ideal situation to find out you have no driver's license.
If yours is suspended you have to prove to the DMV that you paid your fine and pay a reinstatement fee of $95. If it's been over a year that your license was suspended you have to retake the driver's test and get a learner's permit.
Pretty sure none want to waste our time doing all that again!
