Arizona SR-22 and Insurance Reinstatement Information

Arizona publishes a separate process for some insurance and financial-responsibility holds. Not every insurance-related suspension requires an SR-22. Match the exact wording on your notice or official record to the state's current instructions before acting.

What are the published Arizona requirements for insurance and sr-22?

Driving uninsured under ARS 28-4135 triggers a CIVIL PENALTY (assessed on the citation / paid through the court) AND a license suspension AND an SR-22 requirement. Penalty + suspension length escalate with priors within 36 months: • 1st offense: $500 civil penalty + 3 months suspension • 2nd in 36 mo: $750 + 6 months • 3rd+ in 36 mo: $1,000 + 1 year To reinstate: pay the citation civil penalty (court), obtain coverage, have your insurer file the SR-22, and pay MVD's reinstatement fee. SR-22 must be maintained for 3 years from the reinstatement-eligibility date (not the offense date).

Published fee information

Two cost components: (1) civil penalty paid to the court - $500 (1st) / $750 (2nd in 36 mo) / $1,000 (3rd+ in 36 mo); (2) MVD reinstatement fee - ~$10 (driver-license suspension reinstatement via AZMVDNow.gov), $50 if reinstating registration without prior-coverage proof. The civil penalty is by far the dominant cost.
