Colorado point system · Official-source information

Colorado Driver’s-License Points Guide

Colorado DMV maintains driver records and applies the point system established by current Colorado law.

Points are record-specific. The effect of reported convictions depends on age, license type, timing, and the complete DMV record. This page does not calculate a point total or determine license status.

Driver records and reported convictions

  • Points are assessed after conviction. The accumulation periods use the date of the violation, not the later conviction date.
  • Colorado DMV maintains the official state driver record.
  • Court records and DMV records are maintained by different government entities.

Point thresholds

  • Under 18: 6 or more points within 12 consecutive months, or 7 or more for violations before age 18.
  • Ages 18–20: 9 or more points within 12 consecutive months, 12 or more within 24 consecutive months, or 14 or more for violations after reaching age 18.
  • Age 21 or older: 12 or more points within 12 consecutive months, or 18 or more within 24 consecutive months.
  • These summarize the ordinary age brackets in C.R.S. § 42-2-127(1)(a). Chauffeur provisions and statutory exceptions are separate.

Point thresholds and accumulation timing checked against 2026 C.R.S. § 42-2-127 and the Department of Revenue point-suspension summary.

Administrative proceedings
