What is Alaska SR22 Insurance?

Alaska SR22 Insurance is actually a certificate called an SR22 form that your insurance provider files with the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles telling them that you have taken out an auto insurance policy with them. You will need to obtain an Alaska SR22 insurance policy in order to get your driving privileges (license) reinstated after being suspended or revoked. A few reasons you may be required to carry Alaska SR22 Insurance are:

• Chemical Test Results or Refusal to Submit to Breath or Blood Testing
• Under 21 Violation (Underage Driving After Drinking)
• Cancellation of Driving Privileges

Do I need an SR22 filing if I do not own a car?

In order to get your driver’s license reinstated even if you do not own a car, you will need to get an Alaska Non-Owners SR22 Insurance Policy. Essentially, a Non-Owner SR22 Insurance policy is a liability only policy. A Non-Owner's Policy is specifically designed for people who need insurance in order to get their license reinstated, but don't actually own a car.

• 5 years following your revocation period ending date of the first offense
• 10 years following your revocation period ending date of the second offense

If requesting by mail, the following is required:

• Complete the State of Alaska Request for Driving Record Form (Form 419F)
• Legal Name (printed legibly)
• Alaska Driver License Number or date of birth
• Purpose for requesting record (i.e. employment purposes, insurance, “clearance letter”, or other)
• Personalized check or money order for copy of the driving record and the associated license reinstatement fee
• Telephone number

Then mail to the below address:

Note: Keep track of the date you send your request to the DMV. The preferred mailing method would be by certified mail. Then you have a record of the date sent, the date received by DMV and who signed for your request. Always keep copies of all documents for your records.

You also will want to make sure that your SR22 Insurance provider either electronically files the SR22 filing on your behalf or provides you with a copy to mail into the Division of Motor Vehicles.

The court may order the installation of an ignition interlock device. If ordered, make sure you use one of the state approved providers. Please note that the court can order you to install an IID on any vehicle that you may drive, even if you do not own a vehicle.

What is an Alaska Administrative License Hearing?

An Alaska Administrative License Hearing is to contest the Division of Motor Vehicles revocation or cancellation of your driving privileges. If you do nothing you will lose your driving privileges. Depending on the facts of your case, there may be grounds for defeating the revocation or cancellation of your driving privileges.

If you have not consulted with an attorney, it is recommended that you consult with an attorney who specializing in Alaska DUI cases and has experience when it comes to representing clients at administrative hearings. At the Administrative Hearing, your attorney will be able to hear the testimony of the arresting officer under oath and will be able to get a better understanding of the officer’s observations and the evidence against you. Your lawyer will be able to use this information in your court case.

You must make your request in writing for an administrative hearing within 7 days of the date you received your "Notice and Order of Revocation". Keep in mind that the hearing officer cannot overturn the order just because you need your license to drive to work, school, or another purpose.

Once your hearing is scheduled you will receive a notice with the date, time and place of the administrative hearing. It is IMPORTANT that you read the entire notice. The notice contains important information on the hearing policies and some notices will include a temporary driving license.

If you requested a hearing and later decide that you do not want a hearing, you have the right to withdraw your request in writing, as soon as possible. Once your written request to cancel the hearing has been received, your temporary license, if applicable, is immediately cancelled and your license revocation or cancellation period begins.
