Minnesota SR-22 and Insurance Reinstatement Information
Minnesota 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.
General information only. This page does not review your record, decide which category applies, or select a form or provider.
What are the published Minnesota requirements for insurance and sr-22?
Minnesota calls a no-insurance loss a "revocation" of your license, vehicle registration, and plates. For a 1st or 2nd no-insurance offense, that revocation can last up to 1 year. A 3rd uninsured offense within 10 years is a gross misdemeanor on the criminal side, but the license action itself stays a reinstatable revocation of up to 1 year. Even though it's labeled a revocation, this is a routine administrative reinstatement, and the criminal charge (if any) is a separate court matter from getting your license back.
To reinstate, here's what to do:
1. Get insurance coverage that meets Minnesota's no-fault minimum of 40/100/10, including personal injury protection (PIP).
2. Have your insurer file a Minnesota Insurance Certificate for Reinstatement (also called a "Certificate of Insurance") with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) / Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS). This is not a generic SR-22, so asking your insurer for an "SR-22" may get you the wrong filing. Ask specifically for the Minnesota Insurance Certificate for Reinstatement. Your insurer files this certificate directly, and it stays in effect for 3 years.
3. Pay the $30 reinstatement fee.
Published fee information
$30 no-insurance reinstatement (MN DVS). ($20 is the lower FTA/points reinstatement; not the no-insurance line. $680 is the DWI revocation total.)
