The Colorado DR 2922 form is the official document from the Colorado Department of Revenue Division of Motor Vehicles. It allows individuals to establish a vehicle title or salvage title through a surety bond. This process applies when ownership documents are missing or incorrect for motor vehicles or manufactured homes physically located in Colorado.
A mandatory vehicle inspection by a P.O.S.T. certified law enforcement officer is required to verify the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For manufactured homes, VIN verification is still required but follows different criteria than standard motor vehicles. After the inspection, you must conduct a thorough search for any prior owners and lienholders by sending certified or registered mail to all known parties.
If liens are found during your search, you must obtain formal lien releases from each lienholder. When a lienholder cannot be reached, a specific bonding process is followed as outlined in the form. The DR 2922 also requires an official appraisal of the vehicle's value using an approved method. The surety bond amount must meet the required criteria based on this assessed value. Related Colorado DMV forms include Colorado DR 2394 for other title transactions and Colorado DR 2395 for registration-related matters.
Submitting a complete set of supporting documents is essential. These include proof of outreach to previous owners, lien releases, vehicle value assessments, and court orders for abandoned manufactured homes when applicable. After submission to the county motor vehicle office, a waiting period allows previous owners to contest the claim before a Colorado title is issued.
