SR-22 after a DUI letter in Portland
If you are in Portland holding a Maine 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 Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles 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. Maine BMV Driver License Services handles SR-22 questions. An authorized insurer files the certificate. If the policy is canceled, the insurer files an SR-26 so BMV knows coverage stopped. More on After a DUI.

The letter is the instruction. We help you get the insurance proof on file. Court, treatment, and Maine fees on that same notice stay yours.

Who needs the filing
Why people in Portland 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.
