Who needs a non-owner SR-22 in New Mexico?

New Mexico drivers are commonly ordered to file an SR-22 after a DUI, after driving without insurance, after an uninsured accident, or after a license suspension for points or unpaid judgments. If you do not own a vehicle and have no regular access to one, a non-owner policy satisfies the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division.

How to get a non-owner SR-22 in New Mexico

1. Confirm the requirement. Check your suspension notice or court paperwork, or call the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division, to confirm that you need an SR-22, how long you need it, and any reinstatement fees.
2. Request non-owner quotes. Tell the agent that you do not own a vehicle and do not have regular use of one. You must also list everyone in your household who owns a car, because household access can disqualify you.
3. Buy the policy and pay the filing fee. The insurer files the SR-22 with New Mexico electronically, usually within one business day.
4. Pay reinstatement fees and keep the policy active. If the policy lapses, the insurer must notify the state, and your license can be suspended again.
