The basics
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate that an insurer files with the Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles. It is not a separate insurance policy. The certificate connects required liability coverage to your driving record, while the insurer issues and maintains the policy.
01How it works
From notice to filed certificate
Read the notice
Check the exact requirement, agency instructions, driving status, and any court information before discussing an SR-22 policy.
Gather your details
Have your license information, vehicle details, notice, address, and current insurance information available for the conversation.
Review the filing
Discuss owner, non-owner, or other policy options, then confirm what the insurer will file with the Colorado DMV.
02Before you call
What to know before you call
Who may need one
In Colorado, an SR-22 requirement may follow a DUI, license suspension, uninsured ticket, coverage lapse, or another event listed in a notice. A person without a car may still need a qualifying policy. Your own notice and Colorado DMV record decide whether an SR-22 is required.
What changes the price
Cost can reflect the driving record, vehicle, garaging address, coverage limits, claims history, payment plan, and whether the policy is owner or non-owner coverage. Compare the total term cost, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price after reviewing the application.
How long you need it
The Colorado filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or record differences may apply, so check your notice and Colorado DMV record rather than assuming the certificate ends automatically.
Why drivers call us
The conversation is practical and non-judgmental: it identifies the filing requirement, policy type, and information the insurer may need. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, or reinstate a license. Those questions belong with the court named on your notice and the Colorado DMV.
03Policy types
Policy types to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about this option if you own a vehicle in Firestone and need coverage that reflects its regular garaging address and use.
Non-owner policy
Ask about non-owner coverage if you do not own a car but may drive borrowed vehicles, subject to insurer eligibility and policy limits.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Discuss operator coverage when your driving requirement matters more than ownership, especially if vehicle access changes between household members.
Other vehicle classes
Mention motorcycles, commercial vehicles, or other vehicle types before quoting because eligibility and required coverage can differ by vehicle.

08FAQs
Common questions
Do you have an office in Firestone?
No. Service for Firestone is by phone from Longmont, and there is no local office in Firestone. The conversation covers insurance and filing questions, while the insurer and Colorado DMV handle their respective decisions and records.
Can I get SR-22 help in Firestone without visiting an office?
Yes. Firestone drivers can discuss the requirement by phone from Longmont. Have the notice, address, vehicle information, and driving details ready, but remember that the insurer decides eligibility and filing timing.
Does living in Firestone change my SR-22 filing?
Living in Firestone can affect the application because the garaging address, vehicle use, and driving pattern help the insurer assess the policy. Your notice and Colorado DMV record still determine whether an SR-22 is required.
Can I use a non-owner policy in Firestone?
A non-owner policy may be available in Firestone if you do not own a vehicle and need coverage while driving eligible borrowed vehicles. The insurer decides eligibility, and the policy may not cover every vehicle or use.
Does Firestone transit affect non-owner eligibility?
Using local transit instead of owning a vehicle does not by itself establish eligibility for non-owner coverage. Explain whether you borrow cars, whose vehicles you drive, and how often, so the insurer can assess the application.
Which court handles a Firestone citation?
The court named on your citation or notice handles court matters. Do not rely on a general location assumption. Read the paperwork carefully and direct questions about the case to that court, while insurance questions can be discussed separately.
Can I keep out-of-state insurance while living in Firestone?
That depends on the insurer, the vehicle's garaging address, and Colorado requirements. Tell the insurer where the vehicle is kept and provide the notice. Do not assume an out-of-state policy will satisfy the Colorado filing requirement.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with the Colorado DMV. The underlying policy provides the required coverage, and the insurer handles the certificate when it accepts the application.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Colorado?
The filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or record differences may apply, so check your notice and Colorado DMV record before ending or changing coverage.
Does Colorado use an FR-44?
No. Colorado uses the SR-22 certificate for this filing requirement. Your notice and Colorado DMV record remain the controlling sources for your individual situation.
Can an SR-22 reinstate my license?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not itself reinstate driving privileges. Review the notice and confirm requirements with the Colorado DMV before driving.
What should I have ready for an SR-22 discussion?
Have your notice, identifying information, vehicle details, Firestone garaging address, and current or prior insurance information ready. Additional documents may be needed, and the insurer decides whether it can issue the policy and file the certificate.
