Where the Englewood DMV is located and what it handles

Englewood has two DMV locations, both in Colorado. The main office sits at 3520 S. Santa Fe Drive in Englewood, and a second location operates at 4685 S. Broadway. Both offices handle standard DMV transactions: driver's license renewals and replacements, vehicle registration, title transfers, and address changes. Neither location is a full-service regional office, so some transactions — like commercial driver's license testing or certain commercial vehicle titles — may require a trip to a larger Denver-area office.

The Englewood offices are part of Colorado's DMV system, which means they follow state rules for documentation, fees, and processing times. If you live in or near Englewood and need a routine transaction, either location should handle it. If your transaction is unusual or involves a commercial vehicle, call ahead to confirm the office can process it before you go.

Key Takeaways

  • Englewood has two DMV offices on Santa Fe Drive and Broadway, both handling standard driver's license and vehicle registration work.
  • Colorado requires proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement) and identity documents for most transactions, and these requirements are the same at every DMV office in the state.
  • You can renew your driver's license online through Colorado's DMV website if you meet age and status requirements, which may save you a trip to either Englewood office.
  • Wait times at Englewood offices vary by time of day and day of week, and taking a number when you arrive is standard practice.
  • Address changes can be completed in person at either office or online through Colorado's system, and the online route is usually faster.

Documents you need for common Englewood DMV transactions

Colorado requires proof of identity and proof of residency for most transactions. For identity, bring a passport, military ID, or an existing Colorado driver's license. For residency, bring a recent utility bill, lease agreement, bank statement, or government mail with your current address. If you are renewing a license or registration, bring your current card or renewal notice.

For a vehicle title transfer, you will also need the signed title from the previous owner, a bill of sale, and proof of insurance. For registration, bring proof of ownership (the title or registration) and proof of insurance. If you are changing your address on your driver's license, bring your current license and one residency document. The Englewood offices accept these documents in person; you cannot mail them to a local office.

If you are unsure whether your documents meet Colorado's requirements, call the Englewood office directly before your visit. Colorado's DMV website also lists specific document requirements by transaction type, and the staff at either Englewood location can confirm what you need.

How to change your address at the Englewood DMV

You have two routes: in person at either Englewood office, or online through Colorado's DMV website. The online route is faster and does not require a visit. Go to the Colorado DMV website, log into your account with your driver's license number and date of birth, and update your address. The change takes effect when ready, and you will receive a new card in the mail within one to two weeks.

If you prefer to change your address in person, visit either the Santa Fe Drive or Broadway location with your current driver's license and one proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement). The staff will update your record, and you will receive a new card by mail. This route takes longer because you must wait for the card to arrive, but some people prefer handling it face-to-face.

You do not need an appointment at either Englewood office for an address change. Take a number when you arrive and wait for your turn. Peak times are typically mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays, so arriving early or late in the day may mean a shorter wait.

Driver's license renewal options from Englewood

Colorado allows online renewal for most driver's licenses, which means you may not need to visit an Englewood DMV office at all. You can renew online if your license is not expired, you have not had a name change, and you do not need a new photo. Go to the Colorado DMV website, log in with your license number and date of birth, pay the renewal fee, and your new card arrives by mail in one to two weeks.

If your license is expired, you have had a name change, or you need a new photo, you must renew in person at one of the Englewood offices. Bring your current license (or expired license if yours has lapsed), proof of residency, and proof of identity. The staff will take a new photo, update your record, and you will receive your card by mail. In-person renewal takes about 15 to 30 minutes from the time you take a number, depending on how busy the office is.

Colorado driver's licenses are valid for eight years, so check your card to see when yours expires. If you are within six months of expiration, you can renew online. If your license has been expired for more than a year, you may need to retake the written test; call the Englewood office to confirm before you visit.

Vehicle registration and title work at Englewood offices

Both Englewood DMV locations handle vehicle registration renewals and title transfers. For a registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and proof of residency. You can renew online through Colorado's DMV website if you have not had a change in ownership or vehicle information, which is faster than visiting in person.

For a title transfer (buying or selling a vehicle), bring the signed title from the seller, a bill of sale, proof of insurance, and proof of residency. Colorado charges a title transfer fee that varies based on the vehicle's value. The staff will process the transfer, and you will receive your new title and registration by mail within two to three weeks. If you need temporary plates to drive the vehicle before your registration arrives, ask the staff when you submit your paperwork.

If your vehicle has a lien (a loan against it), the lienholder's name will appear on the title. You cannot transfer a title with an active lien unless the lienholder signs off or the loan is paid in full. If you are unsure about your vehicle's lien status, contact your lender or call the Englewood office before you visit.

Wait times and hours at Englewood DMV locations

Both Englewood offices operate during standard business hours, typically Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a lunch break around noon. Hours may vary by location and season, so check the Colorado DMV website or call ahead to confirm. The Santa Fe Drive office and Broadway location may have different hours, so verify which office you plan to visit.

Wait times depend on the time of day and day of week. Mornings before 10 a.m. and late afternoons after 3 p.m. tend to be less busy. Mid-morning and early afternoon are peak times, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If you have a choice, visiting on a Monday, Thursday, or Friday afternoon may mean a shorter wait. You take a number when you arrive; the display board shows which number is being served and how many people are ahead of you.

Colorado's DMV does not offer online appointment scheduling for local offices, so you cannot reserve a time slot in advance. If you want to avoid a long wait, arriving early in the morning or calling the office to ask about current wait times before you go is your best option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my Colorado driver's license at the Englewood DMV if it expired more than a year ago?

If your license has been expired for more than a year, you may need to retake the written knowledge test before you can renew. Call the Englewood office at the Santa Fe Drive or Broadway location to confirm whether you need to test. If you do, you will take the test in person at the office, and if you pass, your renewal can be processed the same day.

Do I need an appointment at the Englewood DMV?

No. Both Englewood offices operate on a walk-in basis. You take a number when you arrive and wait for your turn. There is no online appointment system for Colorado DMV local offices, so arriving early or during slower times is the best way to reduce your wait.

What if I need a commercial driver's license at the Englewood office?

The Englewood DMV locations do not offer commercial driver's license testing or issuance. You will need to visit a larger Colorado DMV office, such as the main Denver location. Call the Englewood office or check the Colorado DMV website for the nearest office that handles commercial licenses.

Can I mail documents to the Englewood DMV instead of visiting in person?

No. The Englewood offices do not accept mailed documents for local transactions. You must visit in person with your documents. However, you can renew your driver's license or vehicle registration online through Colorado's DMV website if you meet the requirements, which avoids a trip altogether.

How long does it take to get my new driver's license or registration card after I explore at Englewood?

New cards are mailed to you and typically arrive within one to two weeks. If you need your card sooner, ask the staff at the time of your transaction whether expedited mail is available. Some transactions may may have access to for faster processing, but standard mail is the default.
