Had a surprisingly expeditious experience here…read more Going to the DMV is never fun and with the new Real ID requirements, we're going to find ourselves there more often. Tip: Make an appointment at least 2 months before your Drivers License expires! You will need to do your renewal in person to get a new photo (required for the new "Real ID"). Tip: Park on the West side of the Department of Revenue Building. That is where the DMV entrance is. I walked in just before my appointment time, gave the person at the check in counter my name, got a number and walked into the DMV to wait. There were only a handful of people waiting and plenty of seating. The building is pretty run down and if you are concerned about cleanliness, you may want to stand or BYO wipes for the plastic chairs. To my surprise, as soon as I walked in, my number was called along with the kiosk to report to. That was great. I didn't even have time to sit down. When you make your appointment online, there is a form with all kinds of information they want you to bring with you to confirm your identity and address (like a paystub, utility bill, etc.). It turns out, they don't actually need any of that if your DL hasn't expired yet and your address has not changed. They confirmed my information and sent me to get my photo taken. I only had to wait for one person ahead of me to get their photo taken. DMV photos are never flattering, but at least I got through it quickly. Unfortunately, at that point, they punch a hole in your ID and hand it back to you with a piece of paper saying your ID is not valid without the paper and that your new ID won't be mailed to you for ~30 days. I do not understand why they cannot print them onsite. So, this will be a PITA for the next month while I wait. However, within a couple of hours, my digital ID on the MyColorado App updated with the new expiration date. So, at least I can use that here in CO.

Issues with Jefferson County DMV:…read more · My property tax up 28% last year. · Clerk fee on all four vehicle registrations. · Phone & utility bills include county fees All of these taxes and fees, I still can't do a walk-in to change title at the Wadsworth DMV. On top of that the DMV is closed on Fridays - impossible for working people without flexible time. Not to mention the confusing and conflicting information on the website. I believe that instead of treating taxpayers as customers, the county expects us to treat it as the customer. Vote every Jefferson County politician out next election. Stop wasting my tax dollars on heating/cooling and maintaining inefficient buildings and empty schools - hire DMV staff instead.

You should talk to your State legislators if you think they need more resources. The DMV has made a huge effort to upgrade to a modern computing platform. The system went live on February 16, 2026 and not only streamlines the workflow at DMV offices, it also offers the new myDMV portal which can be used to manage personal information, receive electronic notices, renew your driver's license, pre-register for a license/permit/ID, check status, renew registration, schedule appointments, and other routine services. There's also a new MVExpress service, 70 automated kiosks scattered around the State, generally at DMV offices or grocery stores. Most online transactions can also be performed at the kiosks. The hope is that many basic transactions will be done online or at a kiosk, freeing up the DMV staff to handle the more complex issues. I had a title transfer, so I went to the DMV office in person. The only DMV entrance at this location is the door off the parking lot in the rear of the building. Three people are allowed inside at one time to line up at the check-in desk. A friendly staffer quickly reviewed my issue and assigned me a number via a text to my cell phone. I was to leave the building once I was in the queue. You can return once you reach fifth place in the electronic line. There's a link in the initial text to a real-time app that shows your exact place in the queue. This works very well. You can leave and go about your business. Just return when you're approaching the end of the line. I arrived at 9:40 a.m. on a Thursday. It took me eight minutes to check-in. There were five people ahead of me and the line moved fairly quickly. The staffer thought it would be two hours until my number came up; it actually took three hours, but I was able to deal with my day while watching the countdown on the app. I returned to the office when I got to eighth on the queue, sat outside for a bit, then was allowed to go to the waiting room when I hit fifth. It took 30 minutes in all to be called to a window from eighth place and I spent 15 minutes with the staffer. Seating outside the building is very limited, two concrete benches on the front of the building facing Tremont Place. The staff suggests sitting in your car if you need to wait, but this can be uncomfortable on a warm day. Some additional, shaded seating would be a nice addition. There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants within the immediate area. Everything ran pretty smoothly. I think this system is about as effective as the DMV can be, given their personnel limitations. Two out of ten windows were operating when I made it to the waiting room, then a third opened after awhile. All of the staffers seemed friendly and willing to help. The crowd of customers was patient and polite. It is really helpful to see the queue and to know your exact status.

I feel like everything they do is so broken and inefficient. Will that ever change? I doubt it. A lot of people visiting this location were mad at the employees for various reasons but it wasn't their fault. If anything I felt that the employees here were doing all they can to help everyone. The URL they provide to check your place in line didn't work. The parking lot here is relatively small for how many people they service here but there is plenty of street parallel parking available in the area. Make sure to do your research and bring all the documentations that you need!

The office is conveniently located just south of the Old Town Lafayette and usually there's not much wait. COVID notes: The County Clerk is making a real effort to do as much business online and by email as possible, and they urge you to email them with your task and see if they can help. I tried this and they responded quickly, although the response was "sorry, you have to come in." You can either walk in and wait, or make an appointment, which is usually available the same day or next day. The appointment is much better - you get in almost exactly on time and don't have to wait. There's no waiting area inside the office, so everybody has to wait outside. With or without an appointment, walk up to the door when you arrive and someone will come out to check you in and give you a number that they will call.
