Colorado identification card eligibility

• Availability Colorado offers an “iconic credential” featuring artwork from Colorado photographers. To get this card, you can renew or obtain your driver license or ID card online via MyDMV.Colorado.gov or the myColorado™ app, or in person.
• REAL ID Compliance Most Colorado ID cards are REAL ID compliant, indicated by a star at the top right corner of the card. However, ID cards issued under the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act (CO-RCSA) are not valid for federal identification, voting, or public benefits and do not have the star.
• Digital ID Colorado offers a digital ID through the myColorado app, which is a secure electronic version of your driver’s license or state-issued ID card. It can be used for proof of identification, age, and address within the state. The digital ID needs to be renewed at the same interval as your physical card.
• Acceptance of Digital ID While the digital ID is an official form of identification, you should still carry your physical ID card. This is because the digital ID is currently only authorized for in-state use and may not be accepted by all law enforcement agencies, state government agencies, and businesses.
• Disability Identifier Symbol You can display a disability identifier symbol on your digital ID to inform first responders and other state personnel that you may be unable to effectively communicate with them.
• Affinity Icon You can add an affinity icon to the back of your digital ID to express your hobbies and interests.
• Requirements To apply for a Colorado ID card, you will generally need a birth certificate, social security card, and proof of address. If you are over 18 and have previously had an ID, you can apply for a replacement ID without an adult, but you will still need to bring the required documents.
• CO-RCSA The Colorado Road and Community Safety Act allows all Colorado residents, regardless of immigration status, to obtain a standard driver license or ID card, provided they meet all requirements and provide proof of identity and Colorado residency. These cards are not REAL ID compliant and cannot be used for federal purposes, voting, or public benefits.
