The Colorado DR 2922 form serves a crucial role for individuals and entities in Colorado faced with the challenge of establishing a title or salvage title through a surety bond, particularly when ownership documents are missing or incorrect. Originating from the Colorado Department of Revenue Division of Motor Vehicles, this form outlines a comprehensive procedure that ensures vehicles physically located in Colorado can be registered or titled legally and safely. The process involves several critical steps, starting with a mandatory inspection of the vehicle by a P.O.S.T. certified inspector to verify its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For manufactured homes, a VIN verification is required, though the inspection criteria differ slightly from motor vehicles. Additionally, the process mandates a diligent search for any prior owners or lienholders through certified or registered mail. In instances where liens are discovered, releases must be secured or, failing that, a specific bonding process is followed. Furthermore, the form specifies the necessity of evaluating the vehicle's value through approved methods, ensuring the bond posted meets the required criteria based on the assessed value. Completing the DR 2922 involves submitting various supporting documents, including proof of attempts to contact previous owners, lien releases, assessments of the vehicle's worth, and in some cases, court orders for abandoned manufactured homes. This detailed procedure not only facilitates the legal acquisition or salvage of a vehicle without traditional ownership documents but also emphasizes the importance of roadworthiness and the responsibility of potential owners to navigate these requirements diligently.
