Rarely will the Oregon DMV accept a hand-printed SR22 certificate. Approved forms are exclusively available from a licensed and authorized insurance agent or company. A computer-printed form is acceptable on white paper as long as an authorized officer of the insurance company signs it. Also, an insurance company can send a certificate to the Salem, Oregon, address of the DMV by mail. This may take a little longer to be received than if you hand-deliver the certificate yourself. Be careful not to accept an SR22 certificate from anyone who is not a licensed agent and who only charges you for the certificate.

The point of an SR22 is to prove you have insurance. If you own a car, then the SR22 certificate will list the name of the insurance company and the vehicle being insured. If you don't own a car, then you can purchase a Non-Owner policy. You must also have signed an insurance application and paid the minimum down payment on the policy. The agent should give you a receipt. If you didn't receive a receipt for the insurance policy, the SR22 certificate may not be valid, which means that you didn't purchase insurance. Some unscrupulous persons have been known to sell fake certificates. You and he may both be investigated and charged with insurance fraud if there is no insurance policy backing up the SR22 certificate.

After you purchase an SR22 policy from us, we will email you an original certificate that you can print, or we will email it directly to the DMV for you. Nice to have choices.
