About Colorado License Plates
In Colorado, license plates are issued to trailers, motor homes, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicle, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. There are two basic categories of plates, specialty or custom license plates and standard license plates. Both standard and specialty plates need to be displayed the same with registration stickers on the rear plate only. If you need to obtain license plate for a new vehicle or replace one’s on an existing vehicle or request specialty plates you will need to do so within the first 30 days of your purchase. When doing so you will also need to add new tags to the rear plate. If you choose to go with custom plates, it will typically cost a bit more.

vehicle might have been part of a traffic violation
This guy just stole my property. Avx 890colorado
Jon, this is a police matter. Your best option is to file a CO police report and have them follow up with the information about the Colorado vehicle that you have
The 303-757-9011 number should be removed as CDOT has nothing to do with vehicle registration. You also have the name Colorado Department of Transportation Link to Department or Revenue websites. You should clean these up so as not to confuse the people.
I bought a new vehicle about 6 weeks ago and need to get it plated. Can i do this online or do i have to come in? if i have to come in do i need an appointment and what information do i need to bring?
thank you
Michael, you will want to contact the Colorado DMV directly about making an appointment to get your new vehicle plated and properly registered in Colorado
If someone has a specialty plate, how do you find the lettered search code for that plate? Without it, just searching the license plate code returns no results
Alexis, if you cannot find what you are looking for with our Colorado license plate lookup resources you can also reach out to the Colorado DMV
I have a 1914 license plate which I found in Leadville, CO. How can I find out who owned the vehicle and what model car it belonged to?
K.Austin, unfortunately our Colorado license plate database only goes back to the 1980’s. We cannot run vintage or older vehicles through our license plate lookup resources. You can try contacting the DMV about this but it’s somewhat doubtful they have the paper records from over 100 years ago.
I sent for my tags in March the 18th and I still haven\’t received the tags they expire in April now it\’s May. Please advice Thank You
Kathy, you will want to contact the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles directly about your tags not arriving. You can also visit their website and download the form to receive duplicate tags if you cannot resolve this over the phone. Unfortunately all Colorado DMV offices are closed from Covid 19, so you will need to correspond via email, phone or mail to accomplish this.
Will “Searchquery.com” verify if a vehicle is stolen?
Thanks, Roger
Rodger, unfortunately our resources do not have access to that information in Colorado. If you want to inquire if a vehicle is stolen you can run a VIN check with National Insurance Crime Bureau website or contact you local police department to make this inquiry.
How can I find my missing brother’s license plate to see where his car is?
Leslie, you might want to contact the Colorado police and report a missing person report if you feel something happened to your brother. We do not have the ability to lookup Colorado license plate numbers by a person’s name.

Hello Mary,
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately we cannot directly assist you license plate registration since we are not affiliated with the Colorado DMV or the Arizona MVD Offices. That being said, as long as you have a physical address in Colorado you should be able to register your vehicle and Colorado license plate with the Colorado DMV.
