Moving to Colorado.... Rules of residency Question???

[momtomany]

I will be moving to Colorado in 3 weeks... I have ample medical records to support my need for MM so that is not my concern... it is this, do I need a Drivers License as proof of residency or can I use my House Lease, power bill.... I heard you are not a resident of the state of Colorado until you have lived there for 90 days... then you can apply for your DL... Can I see a Dr. and get that started before being a resident?... any help would be appreciated...

a lot of states consider you to be a legal Resident, upon gaining employment (whether you want to be a resident, or not :wtf ... they do that, to guarantee their tax revenues, etc.. :smokin:

You just need a Colorado ID. You can get one for like 12 bucks, just a regular state ID not necessarily a driver's license. You can go to the doctor's at any time before you get it, but the application has to be mailed in within 7 or 10 days of seeing the doctor. There is no length of residency requirement, only a current residency requirement. If you have an ID listing your address you're considered a current resident, the less than 3 months thing won't be a problem. Just make sure you have an ID within 7 or 10 days after getting your recommendation from the doctor because your doctor recommendation has a very short shelf life.

Ah, well I haven't heard of that before but if that's true then you can get a Colorado Driver's license for a little more money than a Colorado general ID, and they will void your license from your old state and you will still be a licensed driver, with a valid Colorado ID establishing residency.

You can also establish residency by submitting along with your application a driver's license or general ID from another state along with a phone or utility bill addressed to you at your Colorado address. It is not difficult to establish residency and there is no mandatory waiting period, assuming you truly are a resident.

yes i agree my problem is i had a cdl that i wanted to keep as im not driving a rig right now.so i was gunna do the 2 types of proof and i was told that if i did it that way i'd have to wait 90days so i went ahead and just got the co dl. and really u are supposed to do that anyways within 10 days of a move.

It has a 60 day grace period once you get the Doc's signature. I mailed mine in after 20 or so days, i went to get my license and i needed a piece of ID with my middle name other than my Social Security card so it took a while to find my real Birth certificate.

Thanks for all the info... I got my Card and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was... I decided to go to the Durango Healing Center ... they handled everything for me and they were very reasonable as well... nice place and people... I brought all my records, id's, proof of residency... saw the doc and had my temporary card in hand within an hour... so, not meant to be an advertisement for them, but they made it as easy as it could have been...
