SR-22 after a DUI letter in Des Moines
If you are in Des Moines holding a Iowa letter after a DUI or an alcohol-related stop, the SR-22 is the insurance piece — not the court case, not the interlock, and not the fine. An authorized insurer files a certificate with the Iowa DOT to show you carry the required liability. Call (866) 778-1093 with the letter in front of you. We will read the form name together (SR-22 or FR-44) and quote a policy that can actually be filed. An Iowa-authorized insurer files Form SR-22. Iowa’s minimum liability the filing proves is $20,000 / $40,000 / $15,000. If coverage lapses, Iowa can suspend the license and registrations again. More on After a DUI.

Who needs the filing
Why people in Des Moines call
You were uninsured
A stop or a crash with no liability policy on the car is a common reason the letter arrives.
Your license is still down
Reinstatement often waits until the certificate is on file.
The reason is on the letter
Your premium follows that reason — a DUI quote is not a clean-record quote.
You sold the car after
A non-owner policy can still carry the filing on your license.
