Minimum Coverage Requirements in Utah

Utah operates under a no-fault system with mandatory personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. All drivers must carry proof of financial responsibility, and suspended drivers must maintain continuous coverage to satisfy Utah Driver License Division reinstatement conditions. SR-22 filing is required for DUI convictions, excessive points, and certain at-fault accidents without insurance.

Liability Insurance

Covers damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. A single hospitalization easily exceeds the per-person limit, leaving you liable for the difference — suspended drivers facing reinstatement should consider 50/100/25 or higher to avoid compounding financial exposure.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. Suspended drivers reinstating after DUI should verify PIP is active at policy inception, as lapsed PIP triggers a new suspension even if liability coverage remains in force.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Covers your injuries when hit by a driver with no insurance. Utah requires uninsured motorist coverage matching your liability limits unless you reject it in writing at policy inception — verbal rejection does not count and the coverage is added automatically if the form is not completed. Suspended drivers often skip this step and pay for coverage they intended to decline.

SR-22 Insurance

An SR-22 is not insurance — it is a certificate your carrier files with the Utah Driver License Division proving you carry at least state minimum coverage. Required for three years after DUI, reckless driving, or driving uninsured. If your policy lapses for any reason, the carrier notifies the state within 10 days and your license is re-suspended immediately.

Non-Owner SR-22

Provides liability coverage and SR-22 filing for drivers who do not own a vehicle but must satisfy Utah reinstatement requirements. Covers you when driving borrowed or rental vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does SR-22 filing last in Utah?

Three years from the date of reinstatement, not the conviction date. If your license is suspended for six months after a DUI and you delay reinstatement by another year, the SR-22 requirement begins when you reinstate and runs three full years forward. Any policy lapse during those three years restarts the clock.

Can I get a hardship license in Utah while suspended?

No. Utah does not offer restricted, hardship, or occupational licenses during DUI suspensions. You must serve the full suspension period before applying for reinstatement. The only exception is ignition interlock-restricted licenses for second or subsequent DUI offenses, which allow driving only in vehicles equipped with an interlock device.

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

It depends on your suspension cause. DUI, reckless driving, accumulating 200 points in three years, and at-fault accidents without insurance all require SR-22. Suspensions for unpaid tickets, child support arrears, or medical disqualification typically do not require SR-22 unless insurance lapse contributed to the suspension. Contact the Utah Driver License Division at 801-965-4437 to confirm your specific reinstatement requirements.
