C.R.S. Section 42-2-120
Methods of service


(1)

Any notice or order required to be served under the provisions of the motor vehicle laws may be served in any manner reasonably designed to notify the person to be served of the material provisions of such notice or order. A person has been served with a notice or order when such person has knowledge of the material provisions of such notice or order, regardless of the manner in which such knowledge was acquired. Any irregularity in the form or manner of service or documentation of the proof of service or the means by which knowledge of the material provisions of a notice or order is acquired shall not affect the validity of such notice or order.

(2)

For purposes of notices or orders relating to driving restraints only, “material provisions” means those provisions which identify the affected person, and those provisions which state that a restraint against the person’s license or privilege to drive in this state has been, or will be, entered on the records of the department, or those provisions which advise the person that he or she has a right to request a hearing regarding the imposition of a restraint against such person’s license or privilege to drive.

(3)

The department shall develop proof of service forms which may be used to document proof of service under this subsection (3). Such forms shall include but need not be limited to the following:

(a)

The name and date of birth of the person served;

(b)

The date and time of service;

(c)

The identification number of the notice or order served, if any, or, in the event the notice or order is not available, a description of the information relayed to the person served;

(d)

The name, title, signature, and employing agency of the person making service;

(e)

The signature of the person served; and

(f)

The right index fingerprint of the person served.

(4)

In addition to service by mail or any other means, service of notices or orders may be personally made by any employee of the department, any peace officer, any municipal, county, or state prosecutor, or any municipal, county or district court judge, magistrate, or judicial officer. If service is personally made under this subsection (4), proof of such service of any notice or order may be made by sending a written notification of service in any form to the department. Such notification shall be an official record of the department under section 42-2-121. It shall not be necessary that the written notification is on a form supplied by the department, but the department may refuse to accept as an official record a written notification which does not provide substantially the same information as specified in subsection (3) of this section.

(5)

Peace officers and employees of the department shall serve notices and orders relating to driving restraints upon the affected person anytime the affected person is contacted by a peace officer or employee of the department, when such peace officer or employee believes that the affected person may not have been previously personally served with any notice or order affecting such person’s license or privilege to drive a motor vehicle in this state.
