On March 25, 2020, Governor Jared Polis signed an executive order authorizing the Director of Colorado Parks and Wildlife to extend the expiration date of certain licenses, passes, permits, certificates and registrations for up to 30 days.
To better serve our customers, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is extending the expiration date for the following products, effective immediately:
- Off-highway vehicle (OHV) registrations and permits scheduled to expire March 31, 2020 are now valid through April 30, 2020.
- State Park annual passes, annual family passes, Aspen Leaf annual passes and Columbine annual passes are valid for 30-days after the initial expiration date. For example, passes that expire in April 2020 are now valid through May 31, 2020. This 30-day extension is limited to passes with an original printed expiration date of March 2020 or April 2020.
These extended expiration dates are intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by reducing the need for public travel and in-person interactions at CPW offices. While working through these unprecedented times, we are working to adjust our regulations to better accommodate the needs of our customers.
OHV, boat and snowmobile registrations can be renewed online at CPWshop.com. If you have trouble registering your vehicle or vessel online, please email: DNR_wildlife.cpwinfo@state.co.us. Our staff will need your name, date of birth and registration number.
Non-individual accounts must be processed in person at a CPW office; we encourage those customers to take advantage of this extension and minimize interactions with others during this public health pandemic.
If a customer needs a replacement for their annual park pass, they can download the replacement pass form and mail it to CPW with the required documentation and payment via check or money order. Replacement park passes will be mailed to the mailing address provided on the form. Temporary park passes, annual park pass kiosk receipts and pass vouchers are not replaceable.
CPW products are available for purchase on CPWshop.com or call 800.244.5613.
For additional registration questions, call the CPW Call Center at 303-297-1192 (Monday- Friday, 8am – 5pm MST) or visit our website.
