SR-22 in Minnesota: Fees, Minimum Coverage and How Long

Last checked · Source: Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services

The short answer

Minnesota does not call it an SR-22. Instead, an authorized representative of your insurance company (not your agent) signs an Insurance Certification, form PS35016, which is filed with the Commissioner of Public Safety. Minimum liability is $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for injuries, and $10,000 for property damage (30/60/10). The insurance must be maintained for one calendar year.
