Some state Division of Motor Vehicle (DMV) offices like the New Hampshire DMV deem an SR22 (also known as a proof of auto insurance form) to be valid until your car insurance company files a SR-26 certificate. Other states require you to file a SR 22 form each time that you renew your drivers license or motor vehicle registration.

Failure to submit a valid SR 22 form to your DMV office could cause you to receive a license suspension.

Reasons for SR22 Filing

Some states like Alaska require you to have proof of insurance for as many as five years after you receive a traffic ticket worth six or more points.

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a leading reason that your local DMV office will require you to carry a SR22 form. Having excessive points on your driving record or being involved in several accidents within a short period of time are other reasons that you could be required to carry a SR22 form.

The proof of auto liability insurance form is obtained directly through your car insurance company. Check with your state DMV office to find out how long they require you to carry the form.
