State Requirements

Utah operates as a modified comparative fault state where drivers are liable for damages they cause.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical bills, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure another person in an at-fault crash.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage to another driver's vehicle or property you strike. Judges can suspend your license again if you cannot pay damages beyond policy limits.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Mandatory no-fault coverage that pays your own medical bills and lost income regardless of who caused the crash, up to the policy limit. Utah requires PIP on every auto policy unless you reject it in writing — most suspended drivers should maintain this coverage during reinstatement because it protects you if injured while driving on a restricted permit.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. You must sign a waiver to decline UM/UIM — most suspended drivers reinstating after a violation should not waive this protection.

SR-22 Certificate of Financial Responsibility

Not insurance itself but a filing your insurer submits to the Utah Driver License Division confirming you carry at least state minimum coverage. Required for 3 years following DUI reinstatement, 3 years for reckless driving, and periods specified by court order for other violations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need SR-22 to reinstate my license in Utah?

SR-22 is required in Utah for DUI reinstatement, reckless driving, driving uninsured after an accident, accumulating 200 points in 3 years, and certain court-ordered suspensions — but not for administrative suspensions like unpaid fines, child support arrears, or failure to appear. Contact the Utah Driver License Division at 801-965-4437 to confirm your specific reinstatement requirements. SR-22 must be maintained for 3 years after DUI reinstatement under Utah Code § 53-3-804.

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended in Utah?

If your reinstatement requires SR-22 filing, you must maintain continuous insurance coverage throughout the entire suspension and for 3 years post-reinstatement — any lapse extends the requirement. If your suspension is administrative (unpaid fines, child support) and does not require SR-22, you are not legally required to carry insurance while suspended, but maintaining a non-owner policy prevents lapse surcharges when you reinstate.
