Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What an SR-22 actually does
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Colorado DMV to show required coverage. It is not a separate policy. The filing connects to a qualifying auto policy, and the insurer sends the certificate to the agency when its process allows.
02How it works
How the filing works in three steps
Read the notice.
Check the reason for the requirement, the agency named, and any instructions before discussing policy or filing options.
Describe your driving.
Explain whether you own, borrow, or regularly use a vehicle, and where it is garaged around Lakewood.
Compare policy details.
Review coverage, total term premium, payment structure, and filing handling with the insurer before choosing a policy.
03Before you call
Four things worth knowing first
When Colorado asks for an SR-22
Colorado drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after a DUI, license suspension, uninsured ticket, coverage lapse, or another qualifying driving matter. Your own notice decides whether a filing is required, what agency instructions apply, and whether other restoration steps remain.
What it costs
Cost is shaped by the driving record, vehicle, garaging address, coverage limits, claims history, payment plan, and whether the policy is owner or non-owner. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price and determines its underwriting terms.
How long it may be required
The Colorado filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or record differences may affect what applies, so check your notice and confirm the record with the Colorado DMV.
Why drivers call us
The help is a phone conversation about insurance choices and filing questions, without judgment about the event. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or replace instructions from the court or Colorado DMV.
04Policy types
Four filing situations to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy if you have a vehicle registered or regularly kept in Lakewood and need coverage tied to that vehicle.
Non-owner policy
Ask about a non-owner policy if you do not own a car but may borrow one, subject to insurer rules and vehicle access.
Non-owner details →Regular borrowing
Discuss regular borrowing separately, especially if you use a household member's vehicle for commuting along Wadsworth Boulevard or West Colfax Avenue.
Other vehicle use
Explain any motorcycle, commercial use, or unusual vehicle situation early because available policies and filing handling can differ.

09FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Lakewood?
No. Service is by phone from Denver, and there is no local Lakewood office. The phone line handles insurance and filing questions, while the insurer and Colorado DMV make their own decisions.
Can Lakewood drivers get SR-22 help by phone?
Yes. Lakewood drivers can discuss SR-22 insurance and filing questions by phone from Denver. Have your notice, driving information, vehicle details, and Lakewood garaging address available for the conversation.
Does Lakewood garaging affect an SR-22 policy?
Yes, the Lakewood garaging address can affect underwriting and policy information. Tell the insurer where the vehicle is regularly kept, even if you commute on US Highway 6 or travel elsewhere.
Can I use a non-owner policy in Lakewood?
A non-owner policy may be relevant if you do not own a car, but eligibility depends on your driving situation and the insurer's rules. Explain how often you borrow vehicles and where you drive.
Does taking transit in Lakewood change my filing need?
Using transit does not by itself decide whether an SR-22 is required. If you sometimes borrow a car for commuting or errands, explain that use so the insurer can discuss an appropriate policy type.
Which Lakewood court handles my citation?
The court named on your citation controls the court matter. Do not substitute a different court based on where you live. Keep the citation available and direct court questions to the named court.
Can I insure a borrowed car in Lakewood?
Possibly, depending on ownership, regular use, household relationships, and insurer rules. Explain who owns the car, where it is kept, and how often you drive it before discussing filing options.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with the Colorado DMV and is connected to an auto policy. It does not replace the policy or determine the court outcome.
How long does Colorado require an SR-22?
The filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or record differences may apply, so check your notice and confirm the record with the Colorado DMV.
Can I drive while waiting for the filing?
Do not assume insurance filing means your operating privilege is valid. Review your notice and confirm your status with the Colorado DMV before driving, including trips between Lakewood and Denver.
Can Lakewood residents use out-of-state insurance?
Out-of-state insurance may raise policy and filing questions when your address, vehicle, or driving record is in Colorado. Tell the insurer where you live and drive, and follow the Colorado DMV instructions on your notice.
Does Colorado use an FR-44 filing?
Colorado uses the SR-22 certificate for the filing described here, not an FR-44. Your notice remains the controlling source for the requirement and any additional instructions.
