If you have been suspended/revoked as a result of a court conviction, some other administrative action or accumulation of points you will have to prove to the Nebraska State that all cars you own are insured. If you do not have any cars, you should buy a non-owner or operator policy.

The proof of insurance form that the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles requires is indeed the SR-22 certificate. This is the only form of proof of insurance is accepted in Nebraska for reinstatement of your drivers license.

In Nebraska, like in many other states, it is your responsibility to inform your insurance provider, as soon as possible, that you need an SR-22 filing. You or your insurance provider will need to mail or personally deliver the SR-22 form to the Department of Motor Vehicle unless the insurance provider can electronically submit the filing.
