If Nebraska DMV requires an SR22 after a DUI, ask your insurer to file the certificate as proof of coverage. Check your DMV record for the other steps you need to complete before driving.
Nebraska DMV lists three years from the end of a covered court-ordered or point revocation. For a no-proof-of-insurance case, it lists three years from the citation date. If proof is required for an Employment Drive Permit or a Medical Hardship Permit, keep it in effect for the life of the permit.
Check your DMV record for the dates that apply to your case. A lapse while proof is still required can lead to another suspension. Learn more about Nebraska suspended license insurance.
Nebraska SR22 DUI insurance without a car
If Nebraska requires an SR22 and you don’t own a vehicle, ask about a Nebraska non-owner SR22 policy. Non-owner insurance can cover your liability when you drive an eligible borrowed car. Check how the policy works with the vehicle owner’s insurance.
Broad Form SR22 Insurance
If you’re considering broad form SR22 insurance, ask your insurer what it covers and whether it meets your filing requirements.

Nebraska DUI Penalties
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers over 21 with a non-commercial Nebraska license is 0.08%. A BAC of 0.15% or more is an Aggravated DUI. Nebraska’s Zero Tolerance for drivers under 21 is a BAC limit of 0.02%. The state assigns penalties based on prior DUI convictions and sobriety test results.
A DUI can result in fines, jail time or probation, and a license revocation. Check whether you qualify for an ignition interlock permit and what other steps the court and DMV require. If your record calls for an SR22, keep it active for the dates DMV assigns.
A DUI conviction will appear on criminal and driving record background checks, which may affect your ability to obtain a job in some employment sectors.
Nebraska DUI Sentences, Fines, and License Revocation
Below are standard Class W misdemeanor penalties when the court imposes a jail sentence. Probation, a higher alcohol concentration, or a test refusal can change the outcome.
- First conviction. A $500 fine, 7 to 60 days in jail, and a six-month license revocation.
- Second conviction. A $500 fine, 30 days to six months in jail, and an 18-month license revocation.

Fourth and later convictions can carry felony penalties. See the Nebraska DUI statute and your court order for the penalties in your case.
