Driver’s License Office Opens Jan. 21

---

County residents living and working in the southern areas of Douglas County can renew their driver’s license, change their address and get a Colorado ID at Douglas County’s new Driver’s License Office at 402 Wilcox St. (north of the B&B Café) in Castle Rock. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fees are $21.00 to renew a license, $10.50 for a Colorado ID and free to update any address information.

The Castle Rock Driver’s License Office will not issue new driver’s licenses, learner’s permits or driver’s tests. Citizens will need to visit the Parker or Littleton facility for these services.

According to Carolyn Ringler, Motor Vehicle Manager, “Citizens have been requesting the re-opening of a driver’s license office since the State closed its Castle Rock office in December 2002 due to budget constraints. Since that time, the County has grown by an additional 50,000 citizens resulting in a growing need for these services.”

The County contacted the State to determine if it would be possible to partner in re-opening an office in Castle Rock to meet the growing demand. The State agreed that the County could act as its agent and supplied all equipment and computers for the new facility. All employees, office space and operating costs were provided by the County.

“The County will assess citizen use of the facility, and thus the financial feasibility of the operation over the next three years to determine the long-term viability of this location,” said Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith.
