GOLDEN, Colo. (March 12, 2025) – District Attorney Alexis King is pleased to announce the launch of a new Proof of Insurance (POI) program which allows individuals who have been charged with driving without insurance to submit a copy of their insurance directly to the District Attorney’s Office through a dedicated online portal. This initiative aims to streamline the process for individuals charged with no proof of insurance, allowing community members to resolve their summons without the need to appear in court, and promoting safer, insured driving while improving the efficiency of our court system.
“We are excited to introduce the Proof of Insurance program as part of our ongoing efforts to utilize data-driven solutions to enhance the administration of justice,” said District Attorney Alexis King. “By leveraging technology, we can reduce the administrative burden on prosecutors and the courts, provide a more convenient option for the community, and reinforce our commitment to community safety and accountability.”
The development of the POI program was driven by data insights from our office’s Data Dashboard. Our data showed that since January 2023, nearly 40% of cases dismissed in County Court were for driving without insurance (a total of 6,334 cases). The analysis indicated that 83% of these dismissals happened because individuals presented proof of insurance; 65% arrived to court with proof in hand, and 18% secured insurance with assistance from our Pathways Safe & Licensed Driver program. This data highlighted the need for a more efficient process to handle these cases.
Key features of the POI program include:
- Online Submission: Individuals can submit their proof of insurance through a secure online portal, eliminating the need for in-person appearance at the courthouse.
- Simplified Process: The program provides clear instructions and an easy-to-use form, ensuring that individuals can quickly submit the required documentation.
- Timely Resolution: By facilitating the submission of proof of insurance online, the Proof of Insurance program aims to expedite the resolution of cases and offer an incentive for uninsured drivers to quickly obtain insurance.
Not everyone will be eligible to have their case dismissed. All submissions will be reviewed for eligibility and verified by our Pathways staff.
