Minimum Coverage Requirements in North Dakota

Drivers with DUI convictions, multiple violations within 12 months, at-fault accidents without insurance, or license suspensions must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the North Dakota Department of Transportation. High-risk drivers often need coverage above state minimums to access non-standard carriers willing to write policies during the SR-22 filing period.

Liability Insurance

North Dakota's 25/50/25 minimums are mandatory for all drivers and required throughout the SR-22 filing period. High-risk drivers should consider 50/100/50 or 100/300/100 limits because insufficient coverage can lead to personal liability and make it harder to exit the non-standard market.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy—it is a certificate your insurer files with the North Dakota Department of Transportation proving you carry at least minimum liability coverage. If your policy lapses or cancels during the required filing period, your insurer notifies the state within 10 days and your license is suspended again.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

If you are struck by an uninsured driver during your SR-22 period, you cannot file a claim against your own liability policy—UM coverage protects you in this scenario. Many non-standard carriers require UM/UIM as a condition of writing high-risk policies.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, comprehensive, and collision and is required if you finance or lease a vehicle during your SR-22 period.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers and are often the only option during the first 12–24 months after a DUI or major violation. After maintaining a clean record for 12–18 months, you may qualify to transition back to a standard carrier at lower rates.
