The Nevada Affidavit of Financial Responsibility is a legal document that serves as proof of a person's ability to cover any potential financial losses resulting from motor vehicle accidents. It is a mandatory requirement for individuals applying for or renewing a Nevada driver's license or vehicle registration. This affidavit displays the financial responsibility of the individual in terms of liability coverage for bodily injury or death of one person, bodily injury or death of multiple people, and property damage caused by a motor vehicle accident. There are three main types of the Nevada Affidavit of Financial Responsibility: 1. SR-22: This type of affidavit is required for individuals who have been convicted of certain serious traffic violations or offenses, including DUI (Driving Under the Influence), DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), or driving without insurance. SR-22 is a certificate of insurance that proves the person has obtained the minimum liability coverage mandated by the state. 2. Certificate of Self-Insurance: Companies or individuals who own many vehicles may be eligible for a self-insurance certificate. This option allows them to demonstrate their financial responsibility by showing they can cover the potential losses resulting from auto accidents themselves, without purchasing traditional vehicle insurance policies. 3. Surety Bond: Another option for demonstrating financial responsibility is through a surety bond. This involves purchasing a bond from a licensed surety company, which guarantees the payment of the required minimum liability coverage in case of an accident caused by the bondholder. Additionally, the Nevada Affidavit of Financial Responsibility may be required for individuals who have a history of suspensions or revocations related to insurance violations or accidents. It acts as a guarantee to the state that the person will maintain the minimum insurance coverage for a specified period.
