Trailers

Colorado law requires that all trailers be titled, registered and plated. To complete this process for the first time bring the following:

• Secure and Verifiable ID
• Colorado title
• Paperwork if purchased from a Colorado dealer

Trailers with documents from another state

Contact our office for information on titling and registering a trailer from out of state or a trailer purchased from an out-of-state dealer.

Homemade and Kit Trailers

Applying for a trailer identification number for a homemade or kit trailer will require a Certified VIN Inspection by the State Highway Patrol in addition to providing the following documents and information as described below:

• Length
• Width
• Weight
• Value
• Type of trailer
• Receipts (for the kit or if parts or supplies were purchased to build the trailer)
• The owner or builder must sign an affidavit listing the trailer’s dimensions and stating how the trailer was put together

After this process is completed an identification number on a metal plate will be assigned for the trailer and must be attached to the front, right corner of the frame or nearest metal part.
