Understanding SR-22 Forms in Nevada

An SR-22 is a certificate provided by a licensed insurance agent, serving as a certification from your insurance provider and filed with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles that proves you carry the state's required minimum liability insurance coverage:

$25,000 for bodily injury or death per person
$50,000 for bodily injury or death per accident
$20,000 for property damage
$5,000 for medical payments

An SR-22 certificate is necessary for drivers considered high-risk and must be maintained for three years. If your SR-22 is cancelled or terminated and not immediately reestablished, your license will be suspended.

Nevada Ignition Interlock Device (IID) Requirements

Nevada mandates the installation of an ignition interlock device for:

6 months for BAC of .18 or under
1 to 3 years for BAC of .18 or higher
For the period of license revocation due to failure to submit to a BAC test

This device must be installed on any vehicle you operate, allowing you to regain driving privileges sooner under a Restriction Y license, after proving the IID installation and fulfilling other reinstatement requirements.

FAQs About SR-22 in Nevada

What is an SR-22?

An SR-22 is a certificate that proves you have the minimum required auto insurance coverage mandated by your state. It's often required for drivers who have been convicted of serious driving offenses like DUIs or driving without insurance.

How Long Do I Need to Have SR-22 Insurance?

The duration of SR-22 insurance requirements varies by state and the offense. Typically, it's required for a minimum of three years, but it can be longer depending on the circumstances. During this period, the insurance company will keep the state updated on your car insurance policy renewals and cancellations to ensure you maintain consistent coverage. Breathe Easy can help you understand the specific duration needed in your case.

What happens if I let my SR-22 policy lapse?

Allowing your SR-22 policy to lapse or canceling it prematurely can result in serious consequences, including license suspension or additional fines. It's crucial to maintain continuous coverage until your SR-22 requirement is fulfilled. This can be a challenge if your long-time insurance carrier decides to end your coverage after your DUI.

What are the next steps for getting an ignition interlock device?

When you are done selecting your insurance plan, Breathe Easy can connect you with an Intoxalock representative for further assistance. They will answer any questions you have and help you get set up with an installation appointment at a convenient time.
