Nebraska SR-22 requirements after a DUI
Nebraska requires an SR-22 filing for 3 years after a DUI.
What Nebraska says
SR-22. The DMV's Court Ordered Revocations page requires proof of financial responsibility to remain on file for three years from the date of eligibility for reinstatement, 'normally provided in the form of a SR-22 Certificate of Insurance,' submitted for each vehicle registered in the driver's name. The Ignition Interlock Permit page states this applies if the court revoked driving privileges and the driver has vehicles registered in their name only. The DMV's Administrative License Revocation (ALR) reinstatement list does not include an SR-22 filing.
“File proof of financial responsibility, which is to remain on file at the Nebraska DMV for three (3) years from the date of eligibility for reinstatement – regardless of your state of residence. This is normally provided in the form of a SR-22 Certificate of Insurance”
Ignition interlock statute (see the state page): Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,211.05

How an SR-22 filing works
An SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility. The driver does not file it; the insurer does, electronically, with the state licensing agency, confirming that a policy meeting the state's minimum liability limits is in force. Most insurers charge a one-time filing fee, and a driver who needs one may find that fewer carriers offer it or that premiums are higher.
The filing must stay on file for the period the state sets. If the policy is cancelled or lapses during that period, the insurer notifies the state (an SR-26), and the license is typically suspended again until a new filing is made — which can restart the period.
The period usually starts at reinstatement, not at the arrest or conviction, though states differ; where the state specifies the start date, the note on this page says so.
