Because proof of ownership of property will likely be necessary to complete insurance claims for those who lost homes or vehicles in the fire, we wanted to provide this information to the community as quickly as possible.

Motor Vehicle Services – Replacement titles and other needs

The Boulder County Clerk & Recorder can waive fees for transactions completed in person. Please let our staff know you are a victim in the Marshal Fire. Requests for these documents can also be completed online, however, those transactions are handled directly by the state Motor Vehicle office, require a current mailing address, and Boulder County has no ability to waive fees. Turnaround for online transactions may be about 2-3 weeks.

The most likely vehicle-related items you may need are:

• Replacement vehicle title
• Replacement vehicle registration

If possible and to save time, make an appointment at one of our three offices. Appointments are typically more plentiful in our Lafayette office.

ID is required for in person service. If you do not have an ID, contact the Colorado Motor Vehicle Driver’s License office (separate from our office). We also accept digital IDs from the MyColorado App (download through mobile app stores).

Questions? We are here to help. Call us at 303-413-7710. Our call wait might be long, but we appreciate your patience. If it is not urgent, you may also use the contact us form (or contact us form in Spanish) with a typical response time of 24-48 business hours.

Our office operates: Mon-Thurs 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is closed on Fridays.
