Colorado driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants. https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/colorado/","dateModified":"2026-06-28","description":"Colorado driver license and state ID without an SSN: the SB 251 credential, the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles document list and the REAL ID rules.","disclaimer":"General information, not legal advice. MigrantUSA is an independent publisher and is not a law firm. Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. Under the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act (SB 251 / CO-RCSA), undocumented residents get a ‘Standard Credential’ driver license, permit, or ID. As of a March 31, 2025 update, you no longer need a Social Security number, an ITIN, a Colorado tax return, or two years of residency — the requirements were simplified.","question":"Can I get a Colorado driver license without an SSN or legal status?"},{"answer":"Three things: (1) proof of identity and date of birth — a home-country passport, consular card (matrícula), or home-country military ID, unexpired or expired less than 10 years; (2) a completed Colorado Residency Affidavit (form DR 2212A); and (3) one proof of your current Colorado physical address (in English, dated within the past year, no P.O. boxes). Non-English documents need a certified English translation.","question":"What documents do I need now?"},{"answer":"Yes — a non-driver Colorado ID card is available under the same SB251 rules with the same documents (no SSN). You cannot hold both a license and an ID card. The card is not REAL ID compliant: it carries a black banner reading ‘Not Valid For Federal Identification, Voting or Public Benefit Purposes,’ so you cannot use it to board a flight. Carry your passport for that.","question":"Can I get a non-driver ID card too, and can I fly with the card?"},{"answer":"The Standard driver license is $34, the instruction permit $21.50, and the Standard ID card $13.30. The credential is valid 3 years. An appointment is required; you pass a vision exam, give fingerprints (required by law), and have a photo taken. A paper temporary credential is issued and the card is mailed within 30 days.","question":"How much does it cost and how long is it valid?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://dmv.colorado.gov/drivers/standard-license-and-ID-cards","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Colorado driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://dmv.colorado.gov/drivers/standard-license-and-ID-cards","https://dmv.colorado.gov/state-dmv-fees","https://dmv.colorado.gov/AppointmentScheduling"],"state":"Colorado","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/colorado/"}
