The Department of Transportation may suspend your license for the following reasons which require an SR-22 to reinstate:
How long do I need SR-22 insurance in Wyoming?
Depending on the court decision the required time to carry an SR22 is three (3) to five (5) years. If you are required to maintain the insurance policy for five years and you have no other violations during the first 36 months the state may waive the remaining 24 months.
Can I get SR22 insurance if I don’t own a car?
Yes, if you don’t own a vehicle you can get Wyoming non-owner SR-22 insurance which allows you to driver any vehicle. If your spouse owns a vehicle you must use that vehicle to get the SR-22.
What is the penalty for allowing my SR-22 policy to cancel?
If you cancel or let the auto insurance policy cancel prior to the end of the probation period your license will be suspended again. You will then have to get the policy started again which can increase the premium and your probation period starts over again.
Wyoming SR22 law requires liability insurance to protect other drivers in the event of an accident. The minimum SR22 requirements are:
While these limits are minimum they are rarely recommended levels of coverage. Ask your insurance agent what they recommend based on your financial position.
After a suspension is over you can get your old driver’s license back if it is still valid. A revocation cancels your driver’s license, and you must go through an investigation to be re-licensed once the revocation is over.
