Jacob’s favorite colors are red and blue, and his favorite food is cheese dogs. He likes to play outside, draw and play on his tablet.  He also likes baseball and soccer and plays for the Hayden town team. 

His favorite movie is “Titanoboa Monster Snake” on the Smithsonian channel, and his favorite cartoon is “Teen Titans Go.”  His favorite books are the Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey.  He reads 20 minutes every night before bedtime. Next year, he will be in third grade and his favorite subjects are math and reading.

Fees for Colorado driver licenses to change July 1

Beginning July 1, the fee for a Colorado driver license will increase by $1 — from $26 to $27. Other fees will remain the same. 

This change was a result of HB16-1415 for the purpose of offsetting the cost of providing Division of Motor Vehicles driver services.  The fee for a driver license under SB-251 (Colorado Road and Community Safety Act) will not change, because the cost for providing this service is already fully recouped. 

 

Visit colorado.gov/dmv/driver-license-and-related-fees for more information.  The DMV encourages individuals to skip the trip to the DMV by using one of the 18 online services, including driver license renewal, available at mydmv.colorado.gov.
