Colorado § 42-2-119

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 42: Vehicles and
• Art.: Drivers' Licenses

Text

(1) (a) Whenever any person,
after applying for or receiving a driver's license or identification card, moves from
the address named in such application or in the license or identification card issued
to such person or when the name of the licensee is changed, such person shall,
within thirty days, provide notice to the department of such person's old and new
address and the number of any license or identification card held by such person.
Such notice shall be provided to the department in writing or in electronic form on
the department's official website. A licensee who changes his or her name shall,
within thirty days, apply in person to renew such license pursuant to section 42-2-118 and in compliance with sections 42-2-107 and 42-2-305.

(b) Repealed. / (Deleted by amendment, L. 2005, p. 645, � 11, effective May
27, 2005.)

(2) All notices and orders required to be given to any licensee under this
article 2 must be provided through electronic notification or given in writing and, if
mailed, postpaid by first-class mail to the licensee at the last-known address shown
by the records kept by the department pursuant to this article 2. The mailing is
sufficient notice in accord with the motor vehicle laws. Any notice or order of the
department mailed first class under the provisions of this title 42 creates a
presumption for administrative purposes that the notice or order was received if the
department maintains a copy of the notice or order and maintains a certification
that the notice or order was deposited in the United States mail by an employee of
the department. Evidence of a copy of the notice mailed to the last-known address
of the licensee, as shown by the records kept by the department pursuant to this
article 2, and a certification of mailing by a department employee; evidence of
delivery of notice in person to the last-known address of the licensee, as shown by
the records kept by the department pursuant to this article 2; or evidence of
personal service upon the licensee or upon an attorney appearing on the licensee's
behalf of the order of denial, cancellation, suspension, or revocation of the license
by the executive director of the department or by the executive director's duly
authorized representative is prima facie proof that the licensee received personal
notice of the denial, cancellation, suspension, or revocation.

(2.5) Repealed.

(3) Any person who violates subsection (1) of this section commits a class B
traffic infraction.
