FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get Colorado Driving Record?2025-10-19T17:12:31+00:00

 

How far back does a Colorado Driving Record go?2025-10-19T17:16:24+00:00

The standard Colorado record typically covers 7 years of driving history. However, serious offenses—like DUI or reckless driving—can remain permanently on your record. CO Motor vehicle records are maintained in accordance with State and Federal laws including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the requirements of the Federal Trade Commission.

Does Colorado Have a Drivng Record Point system?2025-10-19T17:19:42+00:00

Colorado uses a point system. Too many points within a specific period can result in suspension:

  • 12 points in 12 months (adult drivers)
    14 points in 24 months
    CDL drivers are held to stricter standards.
    Each violation adds points—speeding, careless driving, and DUI carry the highest.

  • Examples of point values for violations
    • Failure to yield right-of-way: 3 points
    • Failure to turn on lights: 2 points
    • Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle: 4 points
    • Driving without a license (second offense): 6 points

  • Point suspension thresholds
    • Drivers 21 and older: 12 points in any 12 months or 18 points in any 24 months
    • Drivers 18–21: 9 points in any 12 months
    • Drivers under 18: 6 points in any 12 months
    • Chauffeur’s license holders: 16 points in any 12 months or 24 points in any 24 months 
How long do points stay on your driving record in Colorado?2025-10-19T17:22:24+00:00

In Colorado, points stay on your license indefinitely, but they only count towards a suspension for a two-year period. After two years from the date of violation, the points no longer factor into a license suspension, although they will remain on your permanent driving record.   For more information see the CO DMV Web site

The Adverse Action Letter

The second notice must be sent after the employer decides to take adverse action (not hire the applicant). In the Adverse Action letter the employer must notify the consumer that adverse action has been taken based on a consumer report, and include in that disclosure the following:

The name, address, and phone number of the consumer reporting agency that furnished the report.

A statement that the consumer reporting agency did not decide to take the adverse action and is unable to provide the consumer with specific reasons for the action.

A notice of a consumer’s rights to obtain a free copy of his or her report from the consumer reporting agency within 60 days.

The individual has the right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of any information in the report.” FCRA §615.

The Pre-Adverse Action Letter

This is called a Pre-Adverse Action letter, since it must be sent before the adverse action is taken. In other words, if an employer feels that the information contained in a background check and/or a driving record report may impact the hiring decision, then at that time the employer must send the Pre-Adverse Action letter. The purpose of this process is to give the applicant an opportunity to dispute the accuracy of what was reported. Section 604 of the FCRA requires that before taking any adverse action employers provide to the applicant with:

The purpose of these documents is to give an applicant the opportunity to see the report that contains the information that is being used against them. If the report is inaccurate or incomplete, the applicant then has the opportunity to contact the CRA to dispute or explain what is in the report. Otherwise, applicants may be denied employment without ever knowing they were the victims of inaccurate or incomplete data.

The FCRA is silent on how long employer must wait, but the best practice is to give applicant a meaningful opportunity to review, reflect and object. A minimum is five (5) business days suggested.

Why Should You Care?

Not caring can be expensive. The FCRA requires an employer (when obtaining background reports from a third party) do very specific things during the employment process. Employers are frequently sued in federal court for alleged failure to meet these FCRA requirements. In June of 2016 alone, 409 FCRA lawsuits were filed.

Litigation is costly to employers in terms of time, legal fees, financial settlements, brand damage, and distraction from business goals. Examples of financial settlements include: 

What is the FCRA?

“FCRA” is the abbreviation for the “Fair Credit Reporting Act.” It is a U.S. Federal law.  In 1996, the scope of the FCRA was expanded to include other reports about consumers, including background reports prepared for employment screening purposes. And, the FCRA has been further amended since 1996.

The FCRA is designed to protect consumers by regulating employers as users of background reports and background screening companies as providers of background reports. It applies anytime an employer obtains a background report for employment purposes from a third party. Importantly, it applies to background reports whether or not the report includes credit information.

To understand the FCRA, one needs to know some of the most important terms:
  • Consumer Report – The background report, which is often called a “background check.” A Consumer Report contains only factual information such as dates of employment, criminal records, and driving history.
  • Investigative Consumer Report – Also a background report, but unlike a Consumer Report, includes information obtained through personal interviews. Discussing employment performance, for example, is a personal interview. A personal or professional reference check is another example of a personal interview.
  • Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) – The background screening company preparing the background report; often referred to as a “CRA.”
  • Consumer – The person who is the subject of the background report. In the employment context, this could be an applicant for employment, a current employee, a contractor, temporary worker, or even an unpaid volunteer.
  • User – The person requesting and using the background report. The user is the typically the employer or prospective employer. The user could also be an organization, such as a non-profit or a school district.
  • Disclosure – The document used to inform the consumer s/he may be the subject of a background report.
  • Authorization – The document signed by the consumer in which s/he authorizes preparation of the background report.
  • Adverse Action – The process that must be followed when an employer is considering a negative employment decision based, in whole or part, on the background report.
