My License Is Suspended Can I Get it Reinstated Without an SR22?
Reader’s Question:
I was given a ticket 2 years ago and my license was suspended. I want my license to be reinstated, can I get a license without the sr-22 or do I have to purchase it first? I live in Colorado.

Good Question, Mark.
When your driving privilege is revoked or suspended after serving your period of restraint you may reinstate your license and in most cases you must take test again (both written and drive) so a new license may be issued, according to the Colorado Department of Revenue.
In Colorado in order to get your license back after suspensions or revocations, you will need an sr-22. You will need to check with Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles to get information what you must do to reinstate your driver’s license that was suspended 2 years ago and you may also ask them if it includes maintaining a SR-22.
You may go to an insurance agent to assist you on filing an sr-22 if its is needed or required. Once the liability insurance and the SR22 have been purchased, the form will be filed to the Motor Vehicle Division. Not all insurance companies has the form though.
The sr-22 form itself is not an insurance policy. This only guarantees by the insurance company that you have an insurance in effect that you will need to keep for a certain period. If you do not keep or cancel the SR22 before the required period, the insurance company will inform the Motor Vehicle Division. The Motor Vehicle Division will suspend your license once they get the notification from your insurance company that it has been cancelled before the required period.
You may contact the Colorado Motor Vehicle to get information if you need an sr-22 and if its is still required, you will need to get an sr-22 before they can reinstate your license.
Goodluck!
