Do I need an SR-22 filing to reinstate my suspended driver's license?
The answer depends on your state. Pick yours to see it.
In most cases, yes. Arizona requires an SR-22 filing for most suspended-license reinstatements, and the filing must be maintained for three years from the date of reinstatement; the insurer files it electronically with the Motor Vehicle Division, and drivers cannot self-file. Common suspension causes include a DUI, 8 or more points in 12 months, and at-fault uninsured accidents. Reinstatement fees are $50 for a standard suspension or $100 or more for DUI-related suspensions.

It depends on why your license was suspended. Oregon requires an SR-22 filing after a conviction for driving uninsured or DUII, after an uninsured crash, or when applying for a hardship permit, and DMV must suspend your privileges if you fail to file. To avoid suspension, DMV must receive the certificate before 5 p.m. on the last business day before suspension begins, and a reinstatement fee applies after a suspension.
