Driving Record Copy Request Fort Collins, Colorado CO

Reader’s Question:

If I have a traffic violation here in Fort Collins, Colorado, how long will it stay on my driving record? I had one before for driving an unsafe vehicle. That was on 1998, if I remember it correctly. So, I’m wondering will it still reflect on my driving record? And how can I get a copy of my driving record?

In accordance with State and Federal Law, the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) keep the driving records for a period of seven (7) years. Said records are to cover the 7-year period and do not provide record for less than 7 years.

To answer your first question, since it happened in 1998, then it will not reflect on your driving record. And for your second question, there are two ways to get hold of your driving record:

First, through a driver’s license office where you can get a regular copy which means non-certified copy of the record and;

Second, request through writing addressed to the Colorado Department of Revenue.
