DMV kiosks at King Soopers let you handle some transactions without visiting a full office

King Soopers grocery stores in Colorado host self-service DMV kiosks where you can renew your driver's license, get a duplicate license, update your address, and order a Real ID without an appointment. Not every King Soopers has a kiosk — they are located in select stores, mostly in the Denver metro area and along the Front Range. The kiosks accept payment by card and print your temporary license on the spot, though your permanent card arrives by mail in about two weeks.

These kiosks are run by the Colorado Department of Revenue and work the same way as kiosks in other retail locations across the state. They do not replace a full DMV office for transactions that require an in-person exam, such as a first-time license, a commercial license, or a written test.

  • King Soopers kiosks in Colorado handle renewals, duplicates, address changes, and Real ID orders, but not first-time licenses or tests.

  • You can find which stores have kiosks by searching the Colorado DMV website or calling your nearest King Soopers customer service desk.
  • The kiosk prints a temporary license when ready, and your permanent card arrives by mail within two weeks.
  • Kiosks accept card payment only and do not require an appointment.

How to find a King Soopers with a DMV kiosk near you

The Colorado Department of Revenue maintains a list of all retail locations that host DMV kiosks on its official website. Go to the DMV section, look for "Kiosk Locations" or "Self-Service Options," and search by city or ZIP code. The list shows which King Soopers stores have kiosks and their hours of operation.

If you cannot find the list online, call the King Soopers customer service desk at the store you plan to visit and ask whether they have a DMV kiosk. Many stores in the Denver metro area, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs have them, but availability varies. Some smaller or rural King Soopers locations do not.

You can also contact the Colorado DMV directly at 303-205-5600 to ask which King Soopers nearest to you has a working kiosk. The DMV can tell you the store address, kiosk hours, and what transactions that location handles.

What you can and cannot do at a King Soopers DMV kiosk

King Soopers kiosks handle a limited set of transactions. You can renew an expiring driver's license, order a duplicate license (if yours is lost or stolen), update your address on your license, and order a Real ID-compliant license. All of these transactions assume you already hold a valid Colorado license and do not require a written test or vision exam.

You cannot use a kiosk to get your first driver's license, upgrade to a commercial license, add endorsements (such as motorcycle or CDL), take a written or driving test, or handle vehicle registration. For any of those, you must visit a full DMV office in person.

The kiosk also cannot process name changes, corrections to your birth date or gender marker, or transactions that require a document review by a staff member. If your situation involves any of those, you will need an appointment at a DMV office.

How the kiosk transaction works and what to bring

When you arrive at the King Soopers kiosk, you will see a touchscreen with menu options. Select your transaction type — renewal, duplicate, address change, or Real ID order. The kiosk will ask you to enter your driver's license number and date of birth to pull up your record.

You will then review your current information on screen and make any changes needed. For an address change, you type in your new address. For a Real ID order, you confirm that your current address matches your residence. The kiosk takes a new photo if required for your transaction type.

After you confirm all details, the kiosk prints a temporary license on the spot. You pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover) at that time. The fee varies by transaction — a renewal costs less than a Real ID order — but the kiosk displays the price before you pay. Your permanent card is mailed to the address on file within two weeks.

Bring your current driver's license and a valid payment card. You do not need to bring additional documents for a renewal or address change, but if you are ordering a Real ID for the first time, the kiosk may ask you to verify your Social Security number or citizenship status on screen.

Kiosk hours and what to expect if the kiosk is down

King Soopers DMV kiosks operate during store hours, which are typically 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. or 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., depending on the location. Some kiosks may have shorter hours or be offline for maintenance. Before you go, check the Colorado DMV website or call the store to confirm the kiosk is working that day.

If a kiosk is temporarily out of service, you will see a message on the screen or a notice posted nearby. In that case, you can visit another King Soopers with a kiosk or schedule an appointment at a full DMV office. The DMV office appointment system is also on the state website and lets you book a time slot weeks in advance.

Kiosk locations in major Colorado cities

King Soopers stores with DMV kiosks are concentrated in the Denver metro area and along the Front Range corridor. Common locations include stores in Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Littleton, Westminster, Broomfield, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. However, not every King Soopers in these cities has a kiosk, and the list changes as the DMV adds or removes kiosks.

The most reliable way to find a kiosk near you is to use the Colorado DMV's location search tool rather than assuming your nearest King Soopers has one. Rural areas and smaller towns are less likely to have kiosks, and in those cases a full DMV office visit or mail-in renewal may be your only option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my license at a King Soopers kiosk if it is already expired?

Yes. Colorado allows you to renew a license up to five years after expiration using a kiosk. The kiosk will process the renewal and print a temporary license. Your permanent card arrives by mail within two weeks.

What if the kiosk rejects my payment card?

Try a different card if you have one. Kiosks accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. If all your cards are declined, the kiosk will not complete the transaction. You can try again later or visit a DMV office, where staff can process the payment by card or check.

Do I need an appointment to use a King Soopers DMV kiosk?

No. Kiosks are first-come, first-served and do not require an appointment. Walk in during store hours and use the kiosk whenever it is available. Wait times are usually short, but kiosks can have a line during busy shopping hours.

Can I order a Real ID at a kiosk if I have never had one before?

Yes, if you already hold a valid Colorado driver's license. The kiosk will ask you to confirm your Social Security number and citizenship status on screen. If you do not have a current license, you must visit a DMV office for your first Real ID.

How long does it take to use the kiosk?

Most transactions take five to ten minutes from start to finish, including photo, review, and payment. The kiosk prints your temporary license before you leave, so you have proof of renewal when ready.
