The Iowa Department of Transportation states that future proof of financial responsibility is required from the first day of your suspension or revocation for a conviction, violation or unsatisfied judgment of the OWI law, and lasts for 2 years. Failure to show or maintain future proof of insurance will result in suspension of your license and registrations.

One way to file future proof of financial responsibility is to have your Iowa Authorized insurance carrier file Form SR-22 (Certificate of Automobile Liability Insurance) with the Office of Driver Services.

You will also need to show future proof after a revocation or suspension of your license for convictions or for driving while intoxicated. Future proof is required from the first day of your revocation or suspension and lasts 2 years.
