The basics
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles. It is not a separate insurance policy. The certificate shows that the required liability coverage is in place under a policy issued by the insurer.
01How it works
Three steps to move a filing forward
Read the notice
Find the reason for the requirement, the agency named, and any instructions about restoring your driving privileges before discussing coverage.
Gather your details
Have your notice, Colorado license information, vehicle details, garaging address, and current policy information available for the insurance questions.
Compare policy options
Discuss an owner, non-owner, or other suitable policy, then confirm what the insurer will file with the Colorado DMV.
02Before you call
Four things worth knowing first
Who may need one
Colorado drivers may be asked to provide an SR-22 after a DUI, suspension, uninsured ticket, lapse in required coverage, or another driving-related matter. A driver without a car may still need a suitable policy. Your own notice and Colorado DMV record decide whether an SR-22 is required.
What changes the price
Cost can be affected by your driving record, DUI or suspension history, vehicle, garaging address, coverage choices, prior insurance, and payment arrangement. Compare the total cost over the policy term, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price and explains its available terms.
How long you need it
The Colorado SR-22 filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or changes may apply to your record. Check your notice and Colorado DMV information before ending coverage or assuming the filing is complete.
Why drivers call us
The help is practical and non-judgmental: it explains policy choices, gathers filing details, and helps you understand what the insurer may submit. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, or reinstate a license.
03Policy types
Which policy fits your situation

08FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Lyons?
No. Service is by phone from Longmont, and there is no local office in Lyons. The phone line handles insurance and SR-22 filing questions, while the insurer and Colorado DMV make their own decisions.
Can Lyons drivers get SR-22 help by phone?
Yes. Lyons drivers can discuss Colorado SR-22 questions by phone from Longmont. Have your notice, vehicle details, garaging address, and current insurance information ready so the policy discussion is based on accurate details.
Does living in Lyons affect my SR-22 policy?
Living in Lyons can affect policy information because the insurer considers where the vehicle is garaged and how it is used. Tell the insurer the Lyons address and whether driving includes commuting, canyon travel, or regular mountain trips.
Can I use a non-owner policy in Lyons?
A non-owner policy may fit a Lyons driver who does not own a vehicle but drives borrowed cars. The insurer decides eligibility, covered use, and whether the policy satisfies the filing requirement shown on your notice.
Which court handles a Lyons ticket?
The court handling a ticket depends on the court named on the citation or other notice. Read that document and direct court questions to the named court. Insurance filing help cannot decide a court case or change its outcome.
Can out-of-state insurance satisfy a Lyons SR-22?
Do not assume an out-of-state policy satisfies a Colorado SR-22. Ask the insurer whether it can issue the required Colorado certificate and review your notice or Colorado DMV information for the applicable requirement.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with the Colorado DMV. It is connected to an insurance policy and is not a separate policy that replaces the required coverage.
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, and exceptions may apply, so check before changing or ending coverage.
Does Colorado use an FR-44?
No. Colorado uses the SR-22 certificate for this type of filing. The insurer files it with the Colorado DMV when the policy and filing information meet the applicable requirements.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
Possibly. A non-owner policy may be available for someone who drives but does not own a vehicle. The insurer decides eligibility and whether the policy provides the coverage needed for the filing.
Will an SR-22 reinstate my driving privileges?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not itself reinstate driving privileges. Check your notice and Colorado DMV record before driving.
Is uninsured motorist coverage included?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is optional but is included in your policy unless you reject it in writing. Ask the insurer how that coverage applies to your vehicle and policy choices.
