Insurance and license proof after DUI

Insurance and license proof after DUI is usually controlled by a motor-vehicle agency notice or order. Start with the exact document rather than a nationwide deadline or penalty chart.

Documents to locate

  • Current policy
  • Renewal/cancellation notice
  • SR-22/FR requirement if any
  • Agency reinstatement instructions

Questions to verify

  • Is proof-of-financial-responsibility required?
  • How long must it remain continuous?
  • Does an insurer change affect license compliance?

Keep court and license files separate

The driver-license process can be separate from the criminal prosecution. Keep agency notices, hearing records, and reinstatement proof in a distinct file unless local counsel tells you to combine them.
