Ames SR22 Requirements

Iowa Requires SR22
for 2 years
After an OWI

Ames is home to Iowa State University and is one of Iowa's most educated cities, located in Story County along I-35. Iowa OWI convictions require a 2-year SR22 filing with the Iowa DOT. OWI enforcement is active in Ames, especially near campus, Lincoln Way, and the US-30 corridor.

CyRide provides bus service within Ames and is popular with ISU students, but most Story County residents outside the immediate campus core depend on personal vehicles. A license suspension disrupts commuting to Des Moines and other employment centers.

Filing in Ames: Iowa DOT requires SR22 filing before reinstatement. The 2-year requirement runs from the date of reinstatement.

Ames SR22 Questions

Ames SR22 FAQ

How long do I need SR22 after an OWI in Ames?
Ames drivers are subject to Iowa's 2-year SR22 requirement from the date of reinstatement. The clock restarts if your coverage lapses at any point during this period.
Who files the SR22 with Iowa on my behalf?
Your insurance carrier files the SR22 electronically with Iowa DOT. You don't mail anything. We confirm the filing is received before ending your call.
Can I get SR22 in Ames without a vehicle?
Yes. A non-owner SR22 policy satisfies Iowa's filing requirement even without a car. It's typically the lowest-cost SR22 option and can be bound the same day you call. See our non-owner SR22 page for details.
What happens if my SR22 lapses in Ames?
Your carrier immediately notifies Iowa DOT. Your license is re-suspended and your 2-year requirement period restarts from zero. Continuous coverage throughout the full period is critical.
Can I get SR22 same day in Ames?
Yes. We file electronically with Iowa the same day you call. Call before 3pm and in most cases your SR22 is filed and confirmed the same business day.
