An Oklahoma SR-22 insurance form must be filed by drivers whose driving privileges have been suspended or revoked for reasons such as DUI/DWI convictions, traffic violations or driving while uninsured.

Are there different types of Oklahoma SR-22 auto insurance forms?

Typically, there are three different types of SR-22 car insurance forms: Operator, Owner and Operator-Owner. Operator’s SR-22 insurance covers drivers that operate but do not own a car.

If you live in another state besides Oklahoma, SR-22 filing is usually filed by your auto insurance company. You will have to pay a filing fee, which varies among agencies. You can go online to request a free SR-22 auto insurance quote from state-authorized agencies in your area. Your insurer will forward the SR-22 car insurance form to you once your filing is accepted by the state. You must maintain the Oklahoma SR-22 insurance form for one to three years, depending on the insurer, and renewed in a timely manner. If your SR-22 lapses, the insurer must notify the state. Your driving record is then suspended until the SR-22 auto insurance coverage is reinstated.

Oklahoma SR-22 Insurance: The Bottom Line

Even though Oklahoma doesn’t require its drivers to have an SR-22 form, if you’re a driver in Oklahoma, and you’re moving to a state that requires SR-22 insurance, you may need to have SR-22 insurance in your new state. A SR-22 certificate is required in a few scenarios in order for you to get your license reinstated. SR-22s are required after you’ve committed certain violations of the law. You may even be required to have SR-22 insurance in Oklahoma if you’ve had a series of small violations within a short span of time.

Like most states, Oklahoma requires all cars to have certain limits of car insurance. If drivers don’t have car insurance, it’s illegal for them to drive. Among many other penalties for driving without insurance, drivers must pay a fine of up to $250 as well as administrative fees and fees to get their license and/or vehicle registration reinstated. You may also face jail time if you fail to meet the minimum coverage requirements.
