Last fall, Governor Polis issued an Executive Order authorizing the secure Colorado Digital ID™ within the myColorado™ mobile app as an accepted legal form of personal identification in Colorado. As a liquor licensee, the Division wants to provide you with resources for adding information to your training materials on accepting and validating a Colorado Digital ID.
Colorado businesses are encouraged to accept the Colorado Digital ID as proof of a person's age, identity, and residency for purchases and services requiring identification. As part of accepting a digital ID as a legal form of identification in the state, businesses and their employees should understand:
- What is the Colorado Digital ID and who can accept it,
- Steps to validate that a person’s Digital ID is genuine,
- What they can and cannot do if they suspect a Digital ID is fraudulent,
- Where to find updated state rules for accepting Digital ID, and
- Where to get more information about the myColorado app and Digital ID.
This information is included in the one-page training document, and other resources for businesses are found on the My Colorado website at https://mycolorado.state.co.us/partners/businesses. You can share this document with your employees or integrate the content into your training materials. Additionally, there is a downloadable PowerPoint presentation on the same page that you are welcome to use.
If you have questions or need additional training content about digital identification, please reach out to the myColorado team by email at myColorado@state.co.us.
Please reach out to dor_led@state.co.us with any questions you may have regarding this bulletin.
