In Maine, a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (SR‑22) is required for drivers who have had a judgment suspension or other court‑ordered insurance requirement. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles directs drivers to contact the Driver License Services Division for specific determination and states that the insurer must file the SR‑22 electronically through the portal tylerinsurancefilings.com. Fees of $5 for a copy of the requirement letter (plus $2 for fax) apply, and payments for reinstatement must be made to the Secretary of State.
To have a suspended license reinstated, the driver must first provide proof that the SR‑22 is on file, then pay all reinstatement fees, fines, and any court costs. Reinstatement fees can be paid at any BMV branch, by phone, or online (a $5 online processing fee applies). No reinstatement fees are required for medical suspensions. While the official page explains the filing process and payment methods, it does not specify the duration the SR‑22 must be maintained, so drivers should confirm the required time frame with the BMV.
