States without SR-22
Most states use the SR-22. These don't, or use their own form instead. Each state page has the details and sources.
States with their own form
These states don't use the SR-22 but do require a certificate from your insurer.
- Delaware: FR-19. Delaware's DMV uses an insurance certification, Form FR-19, completed by your insurer or agent.
- Minnesota: Insurance Certification (PS35016). To reinstate after a no-insurance revocation, your insurance company must complete Minnesota's Insurance Certification (form PS35016).
- North Carolina: DL-123. To restore most suspended or revoked licenses you need proof of insurance from a North Carolina-licensed insurer, usually a Form DL-123 certification. A DL-123 is valid for 30 days after it is issued.
States with no SR-22 requirement
- Maryland: No. Maryland doesn't require an SR-22 to reinstate a license. To reinstate a revoked license, the MVA requires you to meet its eligibility rules, wait out a mandatory waiting period, apply with the required fees, and complete any required treatment or testing. An SR-22 is not among its requirements.
- Massachusetts: No. Massachusetts does not require an SR-22 to reinstate a license. The RMV's reinstatement requirements are the reinstatement fee and, depending on the suspension, permit exams, road tests, or required classes or programs. No insurance filing is listed.
- New Jersey: No. New Jersey law no longer provides for the SR-22. Its Motor Vehicle Security-Responsibility Law once let drivers give proof of financial responsibility by filing an insurer's certificate (section 18 of the 1952 act, N.J.S.A. 39:6-40), but that section was repealed in 1979.
- New Mexico: No. Proof is a current insurance policy listing you, a surety bond, or a cash deposit. No certificate from the insurer is required.
- New York: No. New York does not use the SR-22. Under Vehicle and Traffic Law section 346, no one has been required to file or maintain proof of financial responsibility under New York's Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act since February 1, 1957.
- Oklahoma: No. Since November 1, 2009, Oklahoma law has not accepted an insurer's SR-22-type certificate as proof of financial responsibility. Proof is given with a security verification form (the standard insurance card), a money or securities deposit, or self-insurance. To reinstate after a no-insurance suspension, you show an owner's or operator's policy.
- Pennsylvania: No. Pennsylvania does not use the SR-22. Before PennDOT restores a suspended license, you show that your vehicles are insured with an ordinary insurance ID card, declarations page, or binder. If you own no vehicle registered in Pennsylvania, you send a signed statement instead.
- Rhode Island: No. The Rhode Island DMV says that "Financial Responsibility (SR-22) is no longer required by the State of Rhode Island."
- West Virginia: No. The West Virginia DMV does not list an SR-22 among its reinstatement requirements. After a no-insurance suspension, it asks you to serve the suspension, submit proof of valid insurance, and pay a reinstatement fee.
