 A VIN verification is required before registering a vehicle in Archuleta County when the vehicle:

• was purchased outside of Colorado,
• was transferred on a Purged Bill of Sale, or
• requires a correction to the description on the title.                                                                                                                         

The Clerk’s Office will be performing VIN Verifications from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday. There will be designated parking behind the courthouse.  Due to safety concerns VIN Verifications will not be performed in front of the courthouse.  The fee for this service is $20.00.
