What is Request for Duplicate Registration – Boulder County, CO?
The Request for Duplicate Registration is the Boulder County Motor Vehicles form on which the registered owner of a vehicle asks for a duplicate copy of the Colorado registration for that vehicle. Completing it produces a signed written request that the county office handles together with the payment the form calls for.
The form collects the owner's printed name as it appears on identification; the vehicle's year, make and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); a mailing address for the duplicate, only if it differs from the address on the registration; a certification, made under the penalty of perjury in the second degree, that the statements are true and correct to the best of the owner's knowledge; the owner's signature and date; identification information of the registered owner (Colorado DL, Colorado ID or Other, with number, expiration date and date of birth); and a witness signature and date.
The form states that all fields must be completed in order to process the request. It is returned to Boulder County Motor Vehicles with a check payable to Boulder County Clerk.
Boulder County's motor vehicle forms page adds that forms must include an original signature, and that a complete list of registration and titling forms is on the Colorado Department of Revenue's website. The same page notes that many motor vehicle services can be used online, which removes the need for a form.
Who needs to file Request for Duplicate Registration – Boulder County, CO?
The registered owner of a vehicle with a Colorado registration who wants a duplicate copy of that registration files this request with Boulder County Motor Vehicles. The form is written in the owner's voice ("I, ... request a duplicate copy"), and the name entered must be the registered owner's name as it appears on identification.
The owner also supplies identification information: a Colorado driver license (DL), a Colorado ID or another identification, with its number, expiration date and the owner's date of birth. The form includes a line for a witness signature and date.
If you want the duplicate sent to an address other than the one on the registration, you enter that address on the form. The form does not describe who may sign for an owner, so do not assume someone else can sign for you; check with Boulder County Motor Vehicles first.
Boulder County notes that many motor vehicle services can be accessed online without a form. If your need can be handled online, check the county's motor vehicle pages before mailing a request.
