Thank you for asking Mike.

The New Hampshire Department of Safety states that an SR-22 is a certificate of “proof of liability insurance” which must be submitted by an insurance carrier licensed to do business in New Hampshire.

The NH Division of Motor Vehicles states that the SR-22 is required for

* 3 years from the date of conviction/crash or from the date imposed by a hearings examiner.
* If convicted of a Driving While Intoxicated Second Offense, 5 years from the date of conviction.
* If convicted of a major offense in the time frame required to carry an SR-22 insurance certificate, the requirement will be extended for 3 years from the date of the major conviction.

The New Hampshire SR-22 is a certificate of proof of liability insurance and the minimum limits available for liability coverage are 25/50/25. You must have at least these minimum coverages in order to file the SR22. These limits stand for $25,000 of Bodily Injury Liability coverage per injured person up to a total of $50,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a limit of $25,000.

Goodluck!
