If you own a Colorado business or work at a state agency, you can! On Oct. 30, 2019, Governor Jared Polis issued an Executive Order stating that the Colorado Digital ID™ may be accepted as a legal form of personal identification for use in Colorado. Colorado businesses are encouraged to accept the Digital ID, and all executive branch agencies may accept the Digital ID as a method to prove a person's identity.
Colorado State Patrol began accepting Digital ID on Nov. 30, 2020. Local law enforcement agencies across the state are beginning to accept it, too. Not all law enforcement agencies accept Colorado Digital ID at this time and may continue to require a physical driver license or state-issued ID card. For this reason, Coloradans still need to carry their physical ID.
The Secretary of State published the following Department of Revenue rules for liquor and marijuana merchant verification of age and identity:
Colorado Liquor Rules: Reference CCR 203-2, Regulation 47-912 - Identification, paragraph A, number 1 which states that verification of age can be done by "Producing adequate identification of age, including any verified digital identification, that is valid and unexpired..."
Colorado Marijuana Rules: Reference CCR 212-3, 3-405 – Identification, paragraph C which states that "any valid and verified digital identification" of a driver license or state ID is deemed adequate.
Colorado state agencies are updating the official rules for accepting identification to include digital forms of ID. Visit your normal reference for identification rules as additional updates are in progress.
How to Verify a Colorado Digital ID™
Follow this link for the most updated information on how to verify the Colorado Digital ID.
myColorado users can hide information within the Colorado Digital ID that is not relevant for a particular transaction. For example, if age verification is required to purchase alcohol, users can choose to hide their address - or even their birthdate - as a privacy measure. An indicator located on the Digital ID confirms whether or not customers are over 21.
If there is suspicion that a Colorado Digital ID is fraudulent, the phone cannot be confiscated. However, merchants may ask to see the physical driver license or state ID card.
