FAQ

SR22 After DUI — Common Questions

How long do you need SR22 after a DUI in Colorado?

Colorado requires SR22 for 3 years from your license reinstatement date. The clock starts when you reinstate — not your arrest or conviction date. File your SR22 as soon as possible to start your clock.

Is SR22 the same as FR44 in Colorado?

No. FR44 is used primarily in Florida and Virginia and requires higher liability limits. Colorado uses the standard SR22 certificate for most DUI cases with the state's 25/50/15 minimum limits. Our agents will confirm exactly what your court order requires.

Can I get SR22 if I have two DUIs?

Yes. Prime SR22 Insurance works with carriers that specialize in multiple-conviction SR22 cases in Colorado. Your rate will be higher but we will still find your most competitive available rate by comparing 10+ carriers.

What if my SR22 lapses after a DUI?

Your carrier must immediately notify the Colorado DMV, which re-suspends your license. In many cases the three-year obligation clock restarts. Call Prime SR22 Insurance the moment you receive any cancellation notice — we can often prevent the lapse before it takes effect.
