What is SR-22 in Oregon, and When Do I Need It?

If you just received a DUII conviction in Oregon, you may have heard that you need an SR-22. So, what exactly is an SR-22, and how do you go about applying for it to gain back your driving privileges?

What Does an SR-22 in Oregon Mean?

An SR-22 in Oregon is a certificate of “responsibility.” To specify, the SR-22 you apply for is a certificate that shows you have liability insurance. Because of your DUII conviction, the state needs to know that you have active insurance coverage for your vehicle, and this is where your SR-22 certificate comes in. In Oregon, the average time you’ll need to maintain your SR-22 is three years.

How and When Do I File for an SR-22 in Oregon?

Your SR-22 is one of the requirements you need to complete before regaining your driving privileges. So, when you appear before your hearing in court, you will be told to obtain an SR-22. If you hire an attorney, they may have advised you to obtain an SR-22 before your court or hearing date.

Did you refuse your breath test? This means you need to wait 90 days after your arrest date to apply for a hardship license with the installation of an Ignition Interlock and obtaining the SR-22.

At this point, whether before or after your court hearing, you should ask your current auto-insurance provider if they are a state-certified, SR-22 provider. If they do not offer this service, don’t panic! There are many state-certified, auto-insurance providers that can assist you with filing for an SR-22.

SR-22 providers are required by law to notify the DMV if there is any lapse in your coverage. Make sure to keep up with your SR-22 coverage!
