SR-22 in Utah

Checked against official Utah sources · Last reviewed October 5, 2026

In Utah, an SR-22 is mostly tied to insurance problems, such as a conviction for driving without insurance or an uninsured crash. You file it with the Driver License Division, usually through your insurer or agent, and the Division mails you a notice if you need one.

You keep it for 3 years. State law counts from the date proof was last requested, and the Division says it typically runs 3 years from the date of conviction. [1][2]

What happens if your SR-22 lapses?

Don't own a car?

Yes. Utah law says the SR-22 must list all covered vehicles "unless the policy is issued to a person who is not the owner of a motor vehicle," so a non-owner (operator's) policy can be certified. [5]

Who has to file one?

A conviction for driving without insurance or without proof of insurance; an uninsured vehicle registered in your name involved in a crash, or a court order for damages from an uninsured crash; or, for Driving Privilege Card holders, failing to give satisfactory proof of owner's or operator's security.

Common questions

Do I need an SR-22 after a DUI in Utah?

The Driver License Division's SR-22 page doesn't list DUI as a reason, and its DUI reinstatement page doesn't list an SR-22. A conviction for driving without insurance or without proof of insurance does require one. A DUI reinstatement costs $85 plus a $262 administrative fee. Ask the Division to confirm what your own case requires. [1][3][6]

What form does the Division accept?

Only the AAMVA-approved form titled "Financial Responsibility Form," signed and dated within the last 30 days. Your insurer or agent can submit it, or you can email it, fax it to 801-965-4844, or bring it in person. [1]

How much does it cost to get my license back?

The reinstatement fee is $40, for example after a no-insurance conviction. If you're suspended for more than one reason, you may pay a fee for each action. Alcohol and drug offenses cost $85 plus a $262 administrative fee. [3]

I don't own a car. Can I get an SR-22?

Yes. The SR-22 doesn't have to list a vehicle if you don't own one. If you work for a vehicle owner or live in their household, the state must accept the owner's proof instead, but your license is then limited to the vehicles it covers. [5][7]

What insurance limits does my SR-22 policy need?

For policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, Utah's minimums are $30,000 per person and $65,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage, or a $90,000 single limit. [4]
