One-stop shop: DMV, Adams County team up to create new way to DMV

Adams County residents can renew driver licenses, vehicle registrations in one building

WESTMINSTER, Monday, JULY 31, 2023 — Adams County residents now have a new way to conveniently and quickly DMV in one stop.
On Monday, the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) opened the state’s newest driver license office inside the Adams County Western Services Center at 12200 Pecos St. in Westminster.

This new office creates a DMV One Stop — where state driver license and I.D. services are within walking distance of county motor vehicle services. The new partnership is a game changer, offering Adams County residents a one-stop DMV experience while providing a new place for all Coloradans to get driver licenses and identification cards. 

In Colorado, the state DMV offers licensing and identification card (I.D.) services while each county provides motor vehicle services, such as registration and license plates. Driver license offices and motor vehicle offices are rarely offered in the same building unless both are operated by a county. (The driver license office will serve all Colorado residents, the Adams County Motor Vehicle Office only serves county residents.)

“We are always looking for ways to make our services more convenient to our customers,” Colorado DMV Senior Director Electra Bustle said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Adams County Clerk and Recorder’s Office and the Colorado DMV share customers and it makes sense that we would partner to provide our mutual customers a One DMV experience.”

The new driver license office, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, replaces one formerly operated two miles away in Northglenn. The Northglenn location closed Thursday, July 13. 

“We are excited to partner with the state DMV,” Adams County Clerk & Recorder Josh Zygielbaum said. “By having both driver license and motor vehicle services available literally under one roof, we are building in convenience for busy Adams County residents.”

While the new State driver license office at Adams County Western Services Center will serve all Coloradans, Adams County residents can get all their motor vehicle needs at the county office which is just next door. Adams County residents will need to make an appointment for driver license services but do not need one when visiting the Adams County Motor Vehicle office. 

The new office will offer all standard driver license services, such as license and I.D. card renewals, endorsements, instruction permit tests and more.
This  office is just the latest service innovation from the DMV. Whether it’s online services like renewals and instruction permit tests, vehicle registrations in under two minutes at conveniently located MV Express Kiosks or pleasant and quick service in an office, the Colorado DMV is driven to serve Colorado.

The DMV is committed to providing services for all Coloradans where they are needed most, whether it’s in-office, online or on the go. Visit DMV.Colorado.gov/Anywhere to find out how you can DMV anywhere. Yes, anywhere.
