The DMV may require SR22 insurance in Oregon as part of reinstatement. Your insurer files the SR22 to show you carry qualifying coverage. Complete the other requirements in your DMV notice and confirm your driving privileges before you drive.
What is SR22 insurance in Oregon?
An SR22 certificate shows Oregon DMV that you have qualifying owner or non-owner insurance. Your insurance provider files the certificate. Keep the Oregon SR22 certificate active through the date required for your case. Under Oregon’s financial responsibility law, the filing period for qualifying uninsured-driving convictions on or after January 1, 2026 is one year. Check your DMV notice for the period that applies to a different filing, such as one after an uninsured crash or DUII conviction.
If your policy ends, your insurance company may need to notify the DMV. The standard cancellation notice for an SR22 is called an SR26. Oregon can suspend your driving privileges if your required proof of coverage ends.
