Turned me away because I didn't have an appointment, even though the website doesn't say one is required and I was the only customer in the entire area.

GPS took me to the old address and we completely missed our appointment. 200 W 14th Avenue is the new address. They changed the address in Dec. 2025.
- ★★★★★Valerie TGoogle
Having to make an appointment when all the clerks are available and no one else is there is beyond ridiculous. Do better Denver.
- ★★★★★Nick ZGoogle
The staff is rude and lazy. The security is rude and overzealous and automatically treats you like a criminal. You also need to schedule an appointment which the website doesn't tell you. It's just one more example of Denver's corrupt bureaucracy.
