    You can't have a Colorado license and a license from another state at the same time. If they discover you do they will cancel your Colorado license.

    Interesting. Is there a reason for this (besides the point system)? I've only gotten 1 ticket my whole life and it was when I was 19 and driving through Nebraska.

    So what do I do now? Just shred my MI license? do I need to turn it in to the CO DMV?

    Did you show them the MI license? When I moved here from Kansas I handed them my KS DL and they punched a hole in the corner with a hole punch and handed it back to me (they also contacted Kansas DMV to cancel my KS license).

    I'd just leave the MI license in a drawer at home and not worry about it ... nothing will come of it and if they discover you have both then you blame MI for not canceling the license like they were supposed to.


    Actually when I got my CO DL they screwed up when they contacted Kansas and ended up canceling my shiny new CO DL ... I drove on it for almost ten years and even got pulled over once and it wasn't a big deal. They discovered the error when I renewed a couple months ago and they fixed it with a quick phone call to either Denver or Topeka (wasn't sure who she was talking to).

    Apparently you are supposed to turn it in when ya get the new one.

    Which is what I seem to recall I had to do many many moons ago myself.

    He doesn't. Due to this state's handling of the actual card that you carry with your mugshot on it, they leave you with your old license from another state, hole punched, and you recieve a piece of paper from them printed with your new license number, etc for colorado. The old license that is hole punched works as the photo part of your ID, until the new one arrives in the mail, and the paper documentation is the legal info for the state. If you are stopped by a cop, you would show the hole punched card, with the paper documents, until such time the new one arrives in the mail. It's been this way for years, at least it was back in 2004, and when I transfered my license from out of state in 2011, it was exactly the same.

    The OP's DL isn't "hole punched" and yes that makes a difference. The OP is squared away so let's close this thread.

    Sounds like the counter girl goofed, but normal procedure is, it is punched. Regardless, I am sure the licensing system updated the other state of the change. He isnt running two licenses, regardless. Now, if you had your lucky stars, you could close the thread. Oops guess you dont, hmmm.

    PM sent because you clearly don't know the facts of this situation and this thread has no desire to die.
