Boulder County has now moved its Motor Vehicle Self-Service Vehicle Registration Renewal Kiosk from the Clerk & Recorder’s Boulder office to a more accessible location at the King Soopers at 30th and Arapahoe. The County is now also absorbing the MV Express fee of $3.95 per transaction for all county residents at every kiosk location in the county.

The new King Soopers location will be accessible to residents seven days a week whenever the store is open. The kiosk is located just inside the main entrance to the left.

“For well over a year, we have been planning this move and working with our MV Express Kiosk vendor to get our Boulder machine relocated to a more accessible location,” states Payton Quistorff, Boulder County Clerk & Recorder Motor Vehicle Division Leader. “We know that if you need to get your registration renewed in a hurry, that not being able to get to the office during business hours was a challenge.”

Resembling an ATM machine, the bright yellow and blue self-serve kiosk is simple and fast to use. Using the touch screen, residents simply type in their license plate number and VIN number (or bring renewal postcard), follow the instructions on the screen, and renew their license plates. The kiosk collects all taxes and accepts checks (standard size only), credit, or debit cards. While Boulder County now absorbs the kiosk usage fee of $3.95 for county residents (fee is still applicable for non-residents), there is a $0.50 charge for checks or a 2.3% charge for credit/debit cards (similar to transaction fees for online renewal). The entire transaction can be completed in less than two minutes.

Kiosks can be used the month before your plates expire, the month your plates expire, or up to 12 months after your plates expire.

Gilpin County Clerk & Recorder Sahari McCormick told The Mountain-Ear that a kiosk like this in Gilpin “is not in the works right now ….however, Gilpin residents can use this, or any other kiosk, to conduct their MV transactions.”
