Consultations and office visits are by appointment only.
Separate public institutions
The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles maintains the administrative driver record. A Colorado court maintains the criminal case record.
A DMV record and a court docket can arise from the same event without becoming the same proceeding or carrying the same case identifier.
The administrative hearing
An Express Consent revocation hearing concerns driving privileges under C.R.S. § 42-2-126. The issues can involve alcohol concentration or chemical-test refusal. The Department of Revenue describes the hearing's proof standard as a preponderance of the evidence, a lower standard than in criminal court.
State law requires a recording of the hearing and a written hearing-officer decision. These are part of the administrative proceeding; the criminal court maintains its separate case record.
