Does Colorado require a front license plate?

I love the sleek look of cars without front license plates, so I want to remove the front plate for my car. I just want to know what the law says before proceeding. Do you need a front license plate in Colorado?

Yes, Colorado requires drivers to display a front license plate since it is a two-plate state. Driving without a front plate will put you at risk of receiving hefty fines.
To help you avoid penalties, here are some other license plate regulations to pay attention to:
  • License plates must be clear and visible at all times. Even the word “Colorado” must be fully visible.
  • License plate must be visible to other drivers from 50 feet away, even at night
If you are caught in violation of these, you will be responsible for making the necessary changes until the plate complies with the law.
Just as you want to avoid paying penalties for license plate violations, you’ll also want to avoid overpaying for
