In Utah, an SR‑22 (AAMVA Uniform Financial Responsibility form, titled “Financial Responsibility Form”) is a certificate issued by an insurer licensed in the state to prove that a driver has the required liability coverage. The Driver License Division requires an SR‑22 after convictions under the Financial Responsibility of Motor Vehicle Owners and Operators Act, such as driving without insurance, operating an uninsured vehicle involved in an accident, a court‑ordered restitution for an uninsured accident, or failure to provide proof of security while holding a Driving Privilege Card. The division notifies affected drivers by mail that an SR‑22 must be filed.
To obtain and file an SR‑22, the driver must contact a Utah‑licensed auto insurer; the insurer or its agent submits the completed form to the Division either electronically through the SR‑22 portal (dldsr22.ps.utah.gov), by email (dlsr22@utah.gov), fax (801‑965‑4844), or in person at a local office. The filing must be on a form dated no more than 30 days old and is typically required to remain in effect for three years from the conviction date, though the exact period may vary based on the specific violation. Once the SR‑22 is on file and any applicable reinstatement fees are paid, the driver’s license can be reinstated according to the Division’s instructions.
