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 Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles. It shows that required liability coverage is in place. An SR-22 is not a separate policy, and the insurer decides whether to issue the policy and certificate.
02How 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 license information, vehicle details, garaging address, driving history, and current insurance information ready if available.
Review policy choices.
Discuss owner, non-owner, or other available policy options, then confirm what the insurer can file and what the Colorado DMV requires.
03Before you call
Four things worth knowing first
Who may need one
Colorado drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after a DUI, suspension, uninsured ticket, coverage lapse, or another driving-related issue. A driver without a car may still need to discuss a non-owner option. Your notice and Colorado DMV record decide whether a filing is required and what must be done.
What changes the price
Cost can reflect driving history, DUI or suspension records, age, vehicle type, garaging address, mileage, coverage limits, and whether you need an owner or non-owner policy. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price.
How long the filing lasts
Colorado requires the filing period to be three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Exceptions or additional requirements may apply. Check your notice and Colorado DMV record rather than relying only on the policy dates.
Why drivers call us
The conversation is focused on matching your notice with an available policy and explaining what information the insurer may need. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, or reinstate a license. The court named on your notice and the Colorado DMV handle those matters.
04Policy types
Four filing situations to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy if you drive a vehicle registered to you or regularly use a vehicle that needs coverage tied to ownership.
Non-owner policy
A non-owner policy may fit someone without a car who drives borrowed vehicles, but the insurer determines eligibility and coverage limits.
Non-owner details →Household vehicle
If you live with someone who owns a car, explain who drives it, where it is garaged, and whether the insurer requires you to be listed.
Other vehicle use
Describe motorcycles, commercial use, rides to work, or vehicles kept outside Centennial so the insurer can assess the correct policy details.

09FAQs
Common questions
Do you have an office in Centennial?
No. Service is by phone from Aurora, with no local office in Centennial. The conversation can still cover Centennial garaging, commuting mileage, vehicle ownership, and the filing information shown on your notice.
Can Centennial drivers handle an SR-22 by phone?
Yes, Centennial drivers can discuss insurance and filing questions by phone. Have your notice and driving details available, but remember that the insurer decides whether it can issue coverage and how quickly it can submit the certificate.
Does garaging my car in Centennial matter?
Yes, the address where your vehicle is primarily garaged can affect underwriting and policy details. Give the insurer the accurate Centennial address, including any situation where the vehicle is kept elsewhere for work, school, or seasonal living.
Can I use a non-owner policy in Centennial?
A non-owner policy may be considered if you do not own a car and drive borrowed vehicles in Centennial. Eligibility, exclusions, and filing capability come from the insurer, so explain how often and whose vehicles you drive.
Does Centennial commuting mileage affect SR-22 insurance?
Yes, regular mileage and commuting patterns can be part of the insurer's review. Describe trips on Interstate 25, E-470, Arapahoe Road, or other routes accurately instead of estimating from occasional driving.
Which local court handles my Centennial citation?
The court named on your citation or notice is the place to check court instructions. Insurance and filing assistance cannot decide a court case, and the citation should control rather than an assumed local court.
Can I keep out-of-state insurance while living in Centennial?
Tell the insurer if you have an out-of-state policy or recently moved to Centennial. The insurer must assess the garaging address, state requirements, and whether it can provide the required Colorado filing.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with the Colorado DMV to show required coverage. The policy is the insurance contract, while the certificate communicates the filing information.
How long does Colorado require an SR-22?
The filing period is three years following restoration of your driving privileges. Your notice and Colorado DMV record may contain information about exceptions or additional requirements, so check both before assuming the obligation has ended.
Does Colorado use an FR-44?
No, Colorado uses the SR-22 certificate for this filing type. The insurer still decides whether it can issue the policy and certificate, and your notice identifies the requirement that applies to your situation.
Can an SR-22 restore my Colorado driving privileges?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not itself restore driving privileges. Follow the Colorado DMV instructions and confirm your operating privilege is valid before driving.
What should I bring to a Centennial SR-22 discussion?
Have your notice, license information, vehicle details, Centennial garaging address, current policy information, and restoration instructions ready. If you do not own a vehicle, be prepared to explain which vehicles you borrow and how often.
