Blank Colorado Dr 2922 PDF Form

The Colorado DR 2922 form is used for establishing a title or salvage title for a motor vehicle or manufactured home when ownership documents are unavailable or incorrect. This form outlines the bonding procedure required to legally claim ownership in such situations. Applicants must ensure that the vehicle is physically located in Colorado and follow specific steps to complete the process.

The Colorado DR 2922 form is an essential document for individuals seeking to establish ownership of a motor vehicle or manufactured home when traditional ownership documents are either unavailable or incorrect. This form outlines a comprehensive bonding procedure mandated by Colorado law, specifically C.R.S. 38-29-119 and related statutes. Applicants must possess the vehicle or home in question, which must be physically located in Colorado. The process begins with a Certified VIN Inspection, which must be completed by a P.O.S.T. certified inspector. This inspection ensures that the vehicle meets safety standards and is not older than one year at the time of application. Alongside the inspection, the applicant is required to submit several forms, including the Motor Vehicle Requestor Release Affidavit of Intended Use (DR 2489A) and, if applicable, lien release documents. If a lien exists, it must be properly released before proceeding. Additional steps involve verifying the vehicle's value through appraisals and establishing a surety bond, which must be at least twice the vehicle's reasonable value. For manufactured homes, specific requirements related to property ownership and taxes must also be met. This form is crucial for ensuring that rightful ownership is recognized and that vehicles and homes can be legally titled and registered in Colorado.

How to Fill Out Colorado Dr 2922

Completing the Colorado DR 2922 form requires careful attention to detail and the gathering of several supporting documents. Follow these steps to ensure that your application is filled out correctly and submitted successfully.

  1. Obtain a Certified VIN Inspection form (DR 2704) from a P.O.S.T. certified inspector. Ensure the inspection is conducted within the last year. The inspection fee is $50.00, payable by cash or check only.
  2. If the vehicle is out of state, perform a title and lien record search from that state, in addition to the Colorado record search. Complete a Motor Vehicle Requestor Release Affidavit of Intended Use (DR 2489A) for each VIN.
  3. Attempt to contact the owner of record via certified or registered mail. Keep a copy of the letter and the return receipt as proof.

  5. If you cannot secure a lien release, send a certified or registered letter to the lienholder’s last known address. If the letter is returned as undeliverable, you must post a bond equal to the amount of the lien or twice the vehicle's value as determined by the County Assessor.
  6. For manufactured homes, provide proof of ownership of the real property where the home is located, along with evidence of paid Ad Valorem taxes.
  7. Establish the vehicle's reasonable value through price guides or computerized valuation services. Ensure that all appraisals identify the vehicle by year, make, and VIN.
  8. Complete the Bond Statement Guide & In Lieu of Bond Affidavit (DR 2394), detailing why bonding for ownership is required and any attempts made to contact the owner of record.
  9. If the vehicle is classified as salvage, have it inspected and follow the necessary steps to apply for a title or salvage title based on the inspection results.
  10. Submit the completed DR 2922 form along with all required documents to your county motor vehicle office.

After completing the form and gathering all necessary documentation, submit everything to your local county motor vehicle office. Ensure that you retain copies of all submitted materials for your records. The processing time may vary, so be prepared for potential follow-up inquiries from the office.
