The State of Colorado titles and registers ALL trailers. Title applications for trailers have the same requirements as applications for other vehicles.
Who Should Complete This Process?
- Any person who is a resident of Colorado and Adams County; and
- Any person listed as an owner on the DR 2409 Statement of Assembly form.
- Secure and Verifiable Identification (SVID) must be provided by the owner of record.
Homemade
The owner of a self-assembled trailer who does not have an identification number must apply for a Colorado Trailer Assigned Identification Number to title and register the trailer.
Kit Trailers
A kit trailer purchased either assembled or unassembled from a retail sales business that is not a licensed Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer will be titled as a kit trailer. Although the manufacturer may have included an identification number, a trailer-assigned identification number is required for all kit trailers.
Please refer to the forms below for the documents required for titling and registration.
- DR 2697 Certificate of Equipment Compliance for Homemade and In Lieu of Bond Trailers
