COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Drivers who have waited to register their vehicles and have expired tickets should expect an increased crackdown starting on Sunday.
The Colorado Springs Police Department and many other departments across the Front Range will be conducting expired vehicle registration enforcement.
"The goal of this effort is not simply to issue citations, but to encourage compliance and remind vehicle owners of their responsibility to keep their registration current. By raising awareness in advance, participating agencies hope to prompt voluntary compliance and give community members an opportunity to ensure their vehicles are properly registered before the enforcement effort begins."
The increased enforcement will run from August 23 to August 29, according to the department, and officers will have a zero-tolerance policy during this period.
CSPD and partner agencies will take a zero-tolerance approach to registration violations; they will issue citations to those with expired registrations. Any vehicle with a registration more than a year out of date will be impounded.
If you need to update your vehicle registration and want to skip the lines, you can visit the Colorado DMV's website and renew your registration online as long as your registration has not been expired for more than 13 months.
There are also self-service motor vehicle kiosks located across Colorado Springs.
It's also possible to renew your registration over the phone or through the mail; for additional information, click here.
