How Long Do You Need Colorado SR22 Insurance?

For a 1st offense, you will need SR22 insurance for 9 months from the date of your reinstatement (unless you were involved in a DUI accident, in which case you will need SR22 insurance for 3 years).

For a 1st offense, if you receive early reinstatement, you will need SR22 insurance for 3 years.

For a 2nd or subsequent offense, you will need SR22 insurance for 3 years from the date of reinstatement.

If your SR22 insurance is allowed to lapse for any reason, your insurance company will notify the Colorado DMV, which will then suspend your license again.

Early Reinstatement & Ignition Interlock

After a 1st offense DUI, Colorado residents who have no other license restraints can apply for early reinstatement after 1 month of revocation if they install an ignition interlock device (IID) in every vehicle that they own or operate.

If your blood alcohol content was less than 0.17 at the time of your 1st offense, and you successfully participate in and comply with the ignition interlock program, you can apply for an unrestricted license after 4 months of interlock driving.

You will be required to participate in the ignition interlock program for 2 years if you:

• Have a blood alcohol content of 0.17 or higher when you are arrested for your 1st offense

• Are convicted of a 2nd or subsequent DUI offense
