How To Pre-Register For Driver License Appointment At Colorado DMV

The Colorado DMV has made changes to their requirements and students of third-party driving schools, like Coastline Academy, must pre-register online for their driver license appointment. This is for any applicant that needs to take a written or driving test at the DMV. This pre-registration allows you to start an application for a Colorado driver license, ID or instruction permit online. We give you the steps on how to pre-register for that driver license appointment in Colorado below.

Pre-Registration Steps

For this pre-registration, the Colorado DMV has provided very clear steps on getting through the process. Those steps are:

• Visit www.myDMV.Colorado.gov 
• Click "Apply for a Driver License or ID"
• Click "Next"
• Answer the first question and enter Date of Birth and click "Next"
• Select which document you are applying for and click "Next"
• Enter information and click "Click to Verify Address," select the verified address, and click "Next"

Once you have completed this pre-registration, you will be given a pre-registration number. You need to give this number to the driving school you are attending or if you are going straight to the DMV, provide the technician with the confirmation number.

Pre-Registration Process

During this process, the Colorado DMV states you will be asked for:

• Your basic information (name, date of birth, address, sex, hair color, etc.)
• Your citizenship status
• Which documents you are planning on bringing to the DMV to meet identification requirements
• Which documents you are planning on bringing to the DMV to meet Social Security/ITIN requirements
• Which documents you are planning on bringing to the DMV to meet residency requirements
• An email address for your confirmation

Completing The Pre-Registration Process

After completing the pre-registration process:

• You will receive a confirmation that will list the exact documents you need to bring to the driver license office to get your driver license or instruction permit, along with the fees you can expect to pay.
• Print or retain the email confirmation electronically and bring it, along with the specified documents, with you when you visit the driver license office.
• The driver license technician will scan the barcode on the confirmation, which will pre-populate the information you entered into the system.
