Suspended license...Can I get emissions, plates, insurance, and registration.?

I live in Colorado. I have a suspended license and can reinstate it on May 23rd. I found a really good deal on a car, and I would like to buy it and park it until my license is reinstated. By Colorado law, I need to register the car within 60 days. In order to do this, I need insurance. I already found an insurance place that will allow me to get liability insurance as long as I sign something stating that I will not drive the car until my license is reinstated. I keep calling the DMV and am not able to get a hold of anyone. I need to let the buyer know if I am getting the car right away, so he does not sell it. So, first off, if my brother takes me to get emissions, will he be able to provide his license even though he is not on the title to get the emissions done? Obviously, I will be there and have my Identification Card (not driver's license), but will I be able to use it to show them that I am on the title, and that it is my car, and that my brother just drove me there since I cannot drive. Then if I bring the emissions, my Identification Card, and proof of insurance to the DMV, will I be able to register the car and get plates for it? If not, is there another option for me to get this car right away? Thanks!

    All you need is insurance. Where did you get the idea that you need a drivers license to own, title, register or insure a car?

    You only need a drivers license to DRIVE a car..........NOTHING ELSE !

    You do not need to have a valid license to own or register a vehicle. You only need the license to drive the vehicle. As long as you have valid insurance, you can register the car
