1. HOW do I request a DMV Express Hearing for my DUI?
To request an Express Consent Hearing, you must do so in person at a DMV office.3 Due to recent Covid-19 and technology changes, you may also request a hearing in writing via US mail or email. Please direct your request to the Express Consent Unit at dor_hearingrequest@state.co.us; please do not mail the Hearings Division. This could result in a delay in processing your request because the Hearings Division cannot process this request.
After the hearing request is approved by DMV, the Hearings Division will schedule the hearing and assign a Hearing Officer to conduct the hearing.
2. WHAT do I put in my request?
When you first request a hearing, you will be asked whether you want the officer who signed your Express Consent Affidavit to be present for the hearing. It is up to you if you want the officer to appear and testify. Generally, the answer is YES, but please consult an attorney right away for the specifics on your case and speak or Greg Huckaby or M. Colin Bresee for your specifics at 303.377.0100.
