DMV Locations and Hours in Weld County

Weld County has one full-service Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles office located in Greeley at 1625 35th Avenue. This office handles driver's licenses, vehicle registration, title transfers, and most other DMV transactions. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the office is closed on state holidays and weekends.

The Greeley office serves the entire county, including the communities of Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Johnstown, and unincorporated areas. If you live in northern Weld County near Fort Collins, you may find it faster to visit the Fort Collins DMV office in Larimer County, which is often less crowded and may be closer depending on your exact location.

Walk-ins are accepted, but wait times can run 30 minutes to over an hour during peak periods. The office does not take appointments, so arriving early in the morning or mid-week typically means shorter waits than Friday afternoons or the first week of the month.

What Documents to Bring

The documents you need depend on your specific transaction. For a driver's license renewal, bring your current license, proof of Colorado residency (such as a utility bill or lease dated within 60 days), and your Social Security number or ITIN. If you are renewing online or by mail instead, you do not need to visit the office in person.

For vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and payment for the renewal fee. If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Colorado, you will need the title, bill of sale, proof of inspection (if required), proof of residency, and proof of insurance.

For a title transfer, bring the signed title from the previous owner, proof of purchase or bill of sale, proof of residency, and proof of insurance. Bring your Social Security number or ITIN as well. If you are unsure what you need for your specific transaction, call the Greeley office at (970) 304-6400 before you go.

Parking and Accessibility

The Greeley DMV office has a parking lot with standard spaces and accessible parking for people with disabilities. The building is wheelchair accessible with an accessible entrance and interior pathways. Accessible restrooms are available on-site.

If you have mobility limitations or other accessibility needs, you can call ahead at (970) 304-6400 to let staff know you are coming. They cannot reserve a spot or reduce your wait time, but they can direct you to the most convenient entrance and may be able to answer questions about the process before you arrive.

Online and Mail Services

Colorado allows you to renew your driver's license online if your license is not expired and you have not had any address changes or medical conditions reported to the state. You can renew online at dmv.colorado.gov and pay the fee with a credit or debit card. The renewal takes about 10 business days to arrive by mail.

Vehicle registration renewal can also be done online at the same website if your vehicle passes inspection and your insurance is current. Mail renewal is available for driver's licenses and registrations as well — you can request a form by calling (303) 205-5600 or visiting the state DMV website.

If you prefer to handle your transaction by mail or online, you avoid the wait at the Greeley office entirely. However, if you need a new photo ID, a duplicate license, or are changing your address, you must visit in person.

Nearby DMV Offices

If the Greeley office is too far or too crowded, the nearest alternative is the Fort Collins DMV office at 215 North College Avenue in Fort Collins, which is in Larimer County. This office is about 45 minutes north of Greeley and typically has shorter wait times. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Loveland area does not have its own DMV office, so residents there use either the Greeley location or the Fort Collins location. The choice depends on your location within Loveland and traffic patterns on the day you plan to visit.

Both offices handle the same services and accept the same documents. If you are a Weld County resident, you can visit either office — your transaction will be processed the same way regardless of which location you choose.

Common Reasons for Rejected Transactions

The most common reason a transaction is rejected at the DMV is missing or incorrect documentation. Proof of residency must be dated within 60 days, and many people bring documents that are too old. Insurance cards must be current and show Colorado coverage, not out-of-state policies. Bring the physical card or a printed copy from your insurer's website, not a screenshot from your phone.

Vehicle titles must be signed by all owners listed on the document. If the title is not signed or is signed by only one owner when two are listed, the transaction will be rejected and you will have to return with the corrected title. Bring your Social Security number or ITIN — you cannot complete most transactions without it, and you cannot use a tax ID number as a substitute.

If your transaction is rejected, ask the staff member what document is missing or incorrect before you leave. They will tell you what you need to bring back, and you can return the same day if you have time to gather the correct paperwork.

The office does not publish real-time wait times. Waits are typically shortest on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. Avoid Fridays and the first week of each month when possible. If you need current information, call (970) 304-6400 and ask the staff.

Do I have to visit the Greeley office if I live in Weld County?

What if I do not have a Social Security number?

You can use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead. Bring documentation of your ITIN, such as a tax return or letter from the IRS. Call (970) 304-6400 before you visit to confirm what documents the office will accept.

Can I get a duplicate license or ID card at the Greeley office?
