The Colorado DMV has identified a new surge of scam texts that are impersonating the department. It is crucial to reiterate to the public that these messages are NOT from the Colorado DMV, even if they use the DMV logo. The DMV does not initiate contact via unsolicited text messages or emails to demand payment for tickets, or to threaten prosecution or suspension of privileges in this manner.
Please advise any concerned individuals that they should follow the guidelines below:
- Do NOT click on any links.
- Do NOT share any personal or financial information.
- Do NOT reply to the message.
If individuals are concerned about the status of their drivers license, vehicle registration, or any potential tickets, they should contact the Colorado DMV directly through the DMV’s official website or by phone at (303) 205-5600. They should not use any contact information provided in a suspicious text and/or email.
We appreciate your continued vigilance and assistance on this matter.
