Where the Evergreen DMV is located and what it handles

The Evergreen DMV is a satellite office in Colorado, located in the mountain community of Evergreen west of Denver. It handles standard driver's license and vehicle registration transactions for residents in that area, but it does not process all services — some transactions require a trip to a larger regional office or completion by mail.

This office serves El Pomar, Conifer, Bailey, and surrounding mountain communities. If you live in or near Evergreen and need to change your address on your driver's license or vehicle registration, you can often do it here, though the specific services available can shift based on staffing and current office capacity.

Before you drive to Evergreen, check the Colorado DMV website or call ahead to confirm the office is open and that your specific transaction is handled on-site that day. Mountain offices sometimes close for weather or operate on reduced hours.

Key Takeaways

  • The Evergreen DMV handles address changes for driver's licenses and vehicle registrations, but you should call or check online first to confirm the service is available that day.
  • You will need your current driver's license or ID, proof of your new address (utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement), and your vehicle registration if you are updating vehicle records.
  • Address changes by mail are often faster than in-person visits and do not require you to travel to the mountain office.
  • If the Evergreen office cannot process your transaction, the nearest full-service DMV is in the Denver metro area.

What documents to bring for an address change in person

If you go to the Evergreen office to change your address, bring your current Colorado driver's license or ID card. The DMV will not process the change without it. You will also need proof of your new address — a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or property tax notice dated within the last 60 days. A bank statement or insurance document can work if it shows your name and new address, though utility bills are fastest to verify.

If you are also updating the address on your vehicle registration, bring your current registration card and proof of insurance. Some transactions may require additional documents depending on whether you are moving within Colorado or from out of state, so call ahead to ask what the Evergreen office needs for your specific situation.

Do not bring originals of documents you cannot replace quickly — bring copies when possible. The DMV does not return documents, and you may need proof of your old address for other purposes after the change.

How to change your address by mail instead

Changing your address by mail is often simpler than visiting the office in person, especially if you live in a remote mountain area. You can request an address change form from the Colorado DMV website or by calling their main line. Fill out the form, include a copy of your proof of new address, and mail it with your current driver's license or ID to the address listed on the form.

Mail processing typically takes two to three weeks. You will receive your updated license or ID by mail at your new address. This method works well if you are not in a hurry and want to avoid the drive to Evergreen, particularly during winter when mountain roads can be difficult.

If you need your updated license sooner, you can still use the mail method but request expedited processing — there is usually a fee for this service. Check the Colorado DMV website for the current fee and whether the Evergreen office accepts expedited requests.

Changing your vehicle registration address at Evergreen

Vehicle registration address changes follow the same basic process as driver's license changes. Bring your current registration, proof of your new address, and proof of insurance. The Evergreen office can issue you an updated registration card on the spot if the office has the equipment and staffing available that day.

If the Evergreen office cannot process vehicle registrations that day, you can complete the change by mail using the same method as a driver's license change. Some Colorado counties also allow online registration renewals with address changes, though this depends on your specific county and whether your registration is due for renewal.

Keep in mind that changing your address with the DMV does not automatically update your address with your insurance company or vehicle loan holder. Contact them separately to make sure your records match across all three places.

When you need to go to a larger DMV office instead

The Evergreen office is a satellite location and does not handle every transaction. If you need a duplicate license, a commercial driver's license (CDL), a Real ID upgrade, or a vehicle title transfer, you will likely need to visit a full-service office in the Denver metro area. Call the Evergreen office first to confirm — staff can tell you in one call whether your specific transaction is handled there.

The nearest full-service DMV offices are in Littleton, Westminster, and Denver proper. These offices have longer hours and can handle complex transactions that satellite offices cannot. If you are making the drive from Evergreen, plan for travel time and check online for current wait times before you go.

Some transactions can also be completed through the mail or online, depending on what you need. The Colorado DMV website lists which services are available by each method, so check there before deciding to drive down the mountain.

Hours, phone number, and how to check if the office is open

The Evergreen DMV office is located at 28195 Highway 74, Evergreen, Colorado 80439. Hours vary seasonally and can change without notice, especially during winter weather. Before you visit, call the office directly at the number listed on the Colorado DMV website or check the office status on their online locator tool.

Mountain offices sometimes close for snow or operate on reduced hours during winter months. If you are traveling from a distance, a quick phone call takes five minutes and can save you a wasted trip. The DMV website also shows current wait times at some offices, though this is not always available for smaller satellite locations.

If the office is closed or cannot handle your transaction, the website will direct you to the nearest alternative office and show you their hours and services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my address online instead of going to the DMV?

Colorado does not currently offer online address changes for driver's licenses, but you can change your address by mail. Vehicle registration address changes may be available online if your registration is due for renewal — check the Colorado DMV website to see if your county supports this. If neither option works for you, the Evergreen office or a larger DMV office can process it in person.

How long does it take to change my address at the Evergreen office?

In-person transactions usually take 15 to 30 minutes if the office is not busy, though wait times can be longer during peak hours or if the office is understaffed. Calling ahead to ask about current wait times can help you plan when to visit. If you use mail, expect two to three weeks for processing and delivery.

What if I moved from another state and need to update my license?

Out-of-state moves require an in-person visit because you need to surrender your old license and get a new Colorado one. The Evergreen office may handle this, but call first to confirm. You will need your out-of-state license, proof of your new Colorado address, and proof of identity. Some offices require additional documents for out-of-state moves, so ask when you call.

Do I need an appointment at the Evergreen DMV?

The Evergreen office typically operates on a walk-in basis, though some Colorado DMV offices now offer appointment scheduling. Check the Colorado DMV website or call the Evergreen office to see if appointments are available. If they are, booking one can reduce your wait time significantly.

What if I cannot find my current registration card?

You can still change your address, but bring your vehicle identification number (VIN) and proof of insurance instead. The DMV can look up your registration in their system using the VIN. If you cannot provide either the card or the VIN, you may need to visit a full-service office or request a duplicate registration first.
