If you have an out-of-state title on your car in Colorado, even if you’ve been registering it in-state, before you can sell it you need a Colorado title. And before you can get a Colorado title, you have to take it to an emissions control station, which will verify your VIN. Even though your VIN was verified when you registered it in Colorado. And even though your VIN was verified when you previously took it to an emissions control center.
And the DMV may either take several weeks to then print up the title, or else it may be able to do it over the counter. Maybe.
Just a note for future reference.

You need to do the Emissions thing anytime you sell a car. But it does sound like the God of Bureaucracy has set its sites on you.

It makes my head hurt.
