Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What the SR-22 certificate proves
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles. It shows that the policy meets the required coverage. It is not a separate policy, and the insurer generally sends the filing electronically when that option is available.
02How it works
Three steps to move a filing forward
Read the notice.
Find the required certificate, coverage, restoration, and agency instructions. Your notice controls what must be addressed for your situation.
Gather your details.
Have your license information, vehicle or non-owner needs, current policy details, and notice available so the insurance questions are clear.
Compare the filing.
Review policy form, coverage, total term premium, payment terms, and filing handling before choosing an insurer.
03Before you call
Four things worth knowing first
Who may need to file
Colorado drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after a DUI, suspension, uninsured ticket, coverage lapse, or another qualifying driving matter. A driver without a car may still need a non-owner policy. Your own notice and Colorado DMV record decide whether a filing is required and what must be shown.
What changes the price
Cost depends on the driving record, reason for the filing, vehicle use, garaging address, selected coverage, policy type, and insurer underwriting. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. Each insurer sets its own price, so a lower initial payment may not mean a lower overall cost.
How long you need it
Colorado requires the SR-22 filing period to be three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or changes may apply to your record, so check the notice and confirm the record with the Colorado DMV.
What the call covers
The help is practical and non-judgmental: it sorts through policy choices, filing questions, and information an insurer may request. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or change a Colorado DMV record.
04Policy types
Four filing situations to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy when you regularly drive a vehicle you own or keep at your Denver County address.
Non-owner policy
Ask about a non-owner policy when you do not own a car but may drive borrowed vehicles and need required coverage.
Non-owner details →Household vehicles
Explain every household vehicle and regular driver. Garaging, commuting, and access to another car can affect the policy information.
Occasional driving
Describe rental, borrowed, or seasonal driving honestly. The insurer needs to know how and where the vehicle will be used.

Denver roads, transit and paperwork
Interstate 25 Commuting
Regular Interstate 25 commuting can make garaging address, work use, and vehicle access important policy details. Describe where the car is kept in Denver County and whether transit or another vehicle changes your driving pattern.
Capitol Hill Parking
Dense parking around Capitol Hill can affect where a vehicle is stored and who may move it. Give the insurer the actual garaging address and explain whether a roommate, family member, or friend regularly drives the car.
Colfax Avenue Transit
Transit along Colfax Avenue may mean you drive only part of the week or borrow a vehicle occasionally. That pattern can point to different policy questions, but the insurer decides which policy form fits.

09FAQs
Common questions
What does an SR-22 do?
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Colorado DMV to show required coverage. It does not replace a policy, remove a suspension, decide a court matter, or guarantee that every loss is covered.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Colorado?
The filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Your notice and Colorado DMV record control your situation, including any exception or change that may apply.
What coverage do I need with an SR-22?
The required policy must meet the minimums shown on this page. Those minimums are a legal floor, not a promise that a serious crash or all resulting losses will be fully paid.
Can I get a non-owner SR-22 policy?
A non-owner policy may fit someone who does not own a car but needs required coverage while driving eligible borrowed vehicles. The insurer decides eligibility, exclusions, and whether the policy fits your actual driving.
Can an SR-22 be filed electronically?
An insurer may send the SR-22 electronically to the Colorado DMV. Electronic handling depends on the insurer and its systems, so do not assume the agency record has updated until the appropriate record confirms it.
Is cheap SR-22 insurance always the best choice?
No. A lower initial payment can come with different coverage, payment terms, installment charges, or filing handling. Compare the total term premium and policy details because the insurer sets the price.
Can I drive while my license is suspended?
Do not drive until your operating privilege is confirmed as valid. An SR-22 filing alone does not restore driving privileges, and the notice, court, and Colorado DMV determine what remains required.
What happens if my policy is cancelled?
A cancellation can interrupt the filing reported to the Colorado DMV and may create another coverage problem. Ask the insurer what notice it sends and check your agency record rather than assuming the filing continues.
What are Colorado DUI SR-22 rules?
Colorado uses the term DUI. A DUI may be associated with an SR-22 requirement, but your notice and Colorado DMV record decide whether you need one and what restoration requirements apply.
Does credit affect SR-22 insurance?
Credit may be one factor an insurer considers where permitted, along with driving history, vehicle use, garaging address, coverage, and policy type. Insurers use their own underwriting rules and set their own prices.
What should I have ready for the filing?
Have your notice, Colorado driver information, vehicle details or non-owner status, current policy information, and payment method ready. The insurer may request additional information before deciding whether it can issue and file the certificate.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
You may be able to discuss a non-owner policy if you do not own a car. It generally addresses eligible driving without insuring a vehicle you own, and the insurer decides whether the policy fits.
Does an SR-22 cover every car I drive?
Not necessarily. Coverage depends on the policy form, listed vehicles, exclusions, household drivers, and how the vehicle is used. Describe borrowed, rented, and household vehicle access so the insurer can explain the policy.
What can this service not do?
This service cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, guarantee approval, set the insurer's price, or change a Colorado DMV record. It can help explain insurance and filing questions and identify information to have ready.
