Express consent affidavit

C.R.S. § 42-4-1301.1

The formal affidavit, also referred to as the notice of revocation, listing arrest details, test result or refusal, and the 7-day hearing deadline.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

One document in that stack matters more than any of the others, and that's your express consent affidavit, sometimes called a notice of revocation. That piece of paper is critical. It explains whether you took or refused a chemical test, what your reported BAC was, and it serves as your temporary driver's license for 7 days. Photograph it immediately. Email it to yourself. Do not lose it.

there's going to be a sheet of paper the DUI officer fills out, and it's called the Express Consent Affidavit form. What this is, is they're gonna be going over whether you choose to do a breath test, a blood test, or whether you refuse. And this is what's sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles to determine how they proceed.

And then there's paperwork. This is one of the most important parts of the booking process. You'll receive multiple documents, a summon to court, bond paperwork, and one document that's absolutely critical, the express consent affidavit, or sometimes called the notice of revocation. This entire booking process can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, sometimes longer. It really depends on how busy the facility is, whether it's a weekend or holiday, and how cooperative the process as a whole has been.
