colorado dui arrest records: what they include and how to look them up

Understanding the basics

A DUI arrest record in Colorado is a snapshot of law enforcement activity and court progress, not just a conviction. It may reference the arresting agency, booking details, and the related court case. Under Colorado public records laws, many entries are accessible, though sensitive data can be withheld.

What you’ll typically find

• Identifiers like name, date of birth, and case number
• Arrest date, location, and alleged BAC
• Listed charges (DUI, DWAI, refusal) and notes
• Court settings, filings, and outcomes
• DMV actions such as license restraint

How to search and request

People often start with county court portals, sheriff inmate logs, or the Colorado Bureau of Investigation records request. Expect small fees and possible ID checks. Employers or landlords using these records should follow FCRA rules.

Fixes, updates, and limits

If a case was dismissed or you were found not guilty, sealing may be possible; convictions are usually not sealable in Colorado. To correct errors, contact the clerk or arresting agency with documentation. Always compare entries across sources to confirm accuracy.
