Nevada SR-22 Insurance
In Nevada, high-risk driving offenses may require drivers to file an SR-22 form, a certificate proving mandatory insurance coverage. Breathe Easy Insurance is here to guide you through this requirement and help ensure your driving privileges are reinstated.
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 DUI Laws and Penalties
Driving under the influence (DUI) is one of the most common reasons for needing an SR-22. Under Nevada law, you are deemed impaired if your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is:
- 0.08 or higher for drivers over 21
- 0.04 or higher for commercial drivers
In addition to license revocation, penalties for a first DUI offense in Nevada can include:
- Vehicle impoundment
- Jail time from two days to six months, or community service
- Fines between $400 and $1,000
- Mandatory attendance at a MADD Victim Impact Panel
- DUI School
- Substance Abuse Treatment
- Chemical test fee of $60

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.
