Terms you will see on a suspension notice or from an insurer, and the forms some states use instead of the SR-22.

SR-22
A certificate your insurance company files with the state to prove you carry at least the minimum liability insurance. It is not a type of insurance. Source
SR-26
The form an insurer files to tell the state that an SR-22 it issued has been canceled. If your record still requires the SR-22, the state can suspend your license when it receives an SR-26. Source
SR-22A
Georgia's version of the certificate after repeat no-insurance convictions. Source
FR-44
A certificate Florida and Virginia require after a DUI, with higher limits than an SR-22: $100,000 / $300,000 / $50,000 in Florida and double the SR-22 limits in Virginia. Source
DL-123
North Carolina's certificate of insurance from your insurer, required to restore a suspended or revoked license. It does the job of an SR-22. Source
PS35016
Minnesota's Insurance Certification form, signed by an authorized insurer representative and kept for one calendar year. Source
SR-50
An Indiana form that shows current insurance. It does not replace the SR-22. Source
FR-19
An insurance certification Maryland's MVA asks your insurer to file when it finds a lapse in coverage. Source
Future responsibility filing
Oregon's term for the SR-22 requirement; the DMV also calls it SR-22. Source
License reinstatement
Getting a suspended or revoked license back, usually by paying the state's fee and showing proof of insurance or filing an SR-22.
Non-owner policy
A liability-only policy for a driver who does not own a car. Some insurers offer it with an SR-22 filing.
Lapse
A gap in coverage. With an SR-22 on file, your insurer reports the lapse to the state, which can suspend your license again. Source
Minimum liability (25/50/25)
The three numbers are thousands of dollars: injury coverage per person, injury coverage per accident, and property damage per accident.
