Minimum Coverage Requirements in North Dakota

Drivers convicted of DUI, caught driving without insurance, or accumulating excessive points typically receive an SR-22 requirement from the North Dakota Department of Transportation. The requirement lasts 3 years from the date of reinstatement, and any lapse in coverage during that period restarts the clock.

Liability Insurance

North Dakota's 25/50/25 minimums are mandatory for all drivers and form the baseline for SR-22 filers. Carriers writing high-risk policies in North Dakota often require 50/100/50 or higher as a condition of coverage.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance product — it is a certificate filed by your insurer confirming continuous coverage to the North Dakota DOT. Not all carriers offer SR-22 filing in North Dakota, so identifying a willing insurer is often the first obstacle for suspended drivers.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, collision, and comprehensive and is required by lenders on financed vehicles. Drivers without loans often drop collision to manage costs, but this leaves them financially exposed if they cause another accident.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers specialize in high-risk profiles including DUI convictions, suspended licenses, and multiple at-fault accidents. In North Dakota, these carriers may impose higher down payments, require monthly payment plans, or mandate higher liability limits than state minimums.
