New Driver's License ID Rule Overturned

DENVER -- A Denver district judge is granting a temporary injunction barring provisions of a new driver's license law that required people to show two forms of identification in order to get a license.

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless had argued that the requirement was nearly impossible for some people to follow.

Under the department's rules, someone with a U.S. passport must present another document such as a certified marriage certificate to obtain a driver's license or a state ID card. Driver's licenses or ID cards issued by other states don't count as a second form of ID when used with a passport.


The new rule was intended to stop illegal immigrants from getting licenses or state identification cards.

Judge Larry Naves ruled for the plaintiffs just before noon and issued a temporary injunction.

The Department of Motor Vehicles said the decision would open the state up to widespread document fraud and abuse. It hasn't decided whether to appeal.

Additional Resource:
The group filing the lawsuit has set an I.D. Hotline to handle the calls coming in from Coloradans across the state who say they, too, have been wrongly denied I.D. The I.D. Hotline Number is: 720-917-3839.

Good Question.

The Department of Motor Vehicles said the decision would open the state up to widespread document fraud and abuse. It hasn't decided whether to appeal.

I guess they have not noticed the state is already full of widespread document fraud and abuse......
