they are so extremely lazy here. i wanted to get my license plates and i made an appt. i showed up a little early and she told me she couldnt see me bc she was booked up until my appt time. so i sat in the hallway and waited until my appt time, and they literally didnt have one person come through. these people are not there to help you, they are there to do the minimal work possible for a paycheck. disgusting.

An absolute shame…. In such a small town we now have to make appointments for motor vehicle dept. with the amount of people in Gilpin county they could give everyone plates in person in less then 6 months. So leaves plenty of free time. Like 6 months of free time. So I ask again why the appointments. To top it off when you make an appointment it’s 3weeks out so your plates will expire even if you do your do diligence and get plate early. Then if you own more then 2 vehicles you will have to schedule another appointment cause they will only do two transactions per person. Why!!!!!! This is ridiculous!!!!!

Went in excited for a marriage license. Came out upset and empty-handed. The staff was incredibly rude and told us of the short-staffedness being their inability to grant us a license (we arrived 45 min before the office closed). They also could not accept credit cards and only cash. The lack of resources is a shame, but the lack of human decency is inexcusable. Not the finest experience as a proud tax-paying Gilpin resident. We will get our license from Ned.

Did need an appointment but the DMV process here was super fast and easy.

Everyone is always friendly and transactions are always quick. That being said the Gilpin DMV has some quirks that I find pretty unbearable. Their refusal to issue temporary tags, even to long time residents is annoying. I’m also frustrated with having to make an online appointment, not because of the process itself but because every time I’ve shown up for my appointment they seem to be just waiting around for something to do. My transactions take about 10 minutes of the 30 minute appointment and then they’re back to waiting. Walk-ins are not allowed. Very inefficient.
