How SR-22 works in Carson City
An SR-22 isn't a type of insurance. It's a certificate your insurance company files with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to prove you carry at least the state minimum coverage. Nevada usually requires one after a DUI or other license revocation, a conviction for driving without insurance, or an insurance lapse of 91 days or more on a vehicle registered to you, and you typically keep it for 3 years from the date your license or registration is reinstated.
- Your insurance company or agent files the SR-22 with the Nevada DMV for you
- Keep the policy active the whole time. If it ends, your insurer notifies the DMV, which can suspend your license and registrations, and you may have to start the 3 years over
- A licensed agent can quote it today and explain your options
Nevada minimum car insurance
Nevada requires at least $25,000 for injuries per person, $50,000 per accident and $20,000 for property damage. These limits have been in place since July 1, 2018. Your SR-22 policy has to meet at least these limits and come from a company licensed to sell insurance in Nevada.
No car? Non-owner SR-22 in Carson City
If you don't own a car, Nevada law allows an operator's (non-owner) policy, which covers your liability when you drive a car you don't own. Ask the agent whether it fits your situation.

Carson City SR-22 questions
Where do I file an SR-22 in Carson City?
You don't file it yourself. Your insurance company or agent files the SR-22 with the Nevada DMV. If you also have a registration to reinstate after a lapse, the DMV handles that part at an office or by fax.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Nevada?
Typically 3 years from the date your license or registration is reinstated, not from the date of the offense. If the policy cancels during that time, you may have to start the 3 years over.
Can I get an SR-22 in Carson City if I don't own a car?
Yes. Nevada law allows an operator's (non-owner) policy, which covers you when you drive a car you don't own. A licensed agent can quote one today.
