If you are involved in a collision where a person is injured or killed, or where $750 or more of property damage has occurred regardless who is at fault and whether or not a police report was made, you must file an SR-1 report with the DMV within ten days of the collision.Another View: There is no 'standard' answer to this question. Every US state sets its own rules and regulations.
Auto insurance companies do not require drivers to file an SR-22, however, the DMV does. If you have been caught of driving without insurance or you have been convicted of a DUI you may be required to file an SR-22 with the DMV to prove you maintain continuous auto insurance coverage. SR-22's are proof of financially responsibility. By filing this form, your insurance company will notify the DMV when your policy lapses or is cancelled.
California law requires traffic accidents on a California street/highway or private property to be reported to the DMV within 10 days f there was an injury, death or property damage in excess of $750. Untimely reporting could result in DMV suspending a driver license. Accidents involving vehicles not required to be registered such as off-road vehicle (OHV), imlement husbandry, or snowmibile or occurring on a military base or occurring on the driver's own property involving only the personal property of the driver and there was no injury or death are not reportable.The law requires the driver to file the SR-1 form with DMV regardless of fault. This report must be made in addition to any other report filed with a law enforcement agency, insurance company, or the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as their reports do not satisfy the filing requirement. An insurance agent, attorney, or other designated representative may file the report for the driver.The above paragraphs appear on the back of the SR-1 form.

Only your Auto Insurer can produce an SR22 certificate for you. Many companies will file it for you or you can file it yourself after the insurer produces the policy and the SR22 endorsement.
I don't know of a state that won't file an SR-22 if needed. This is a surcharge of points for the state you received a violation in. Example I live in Massachusetts if I drove to New York and was stopped for DUI in New York they would file an SR-22 on my Mass insurance, so they would collect the penalty and they send the money to New York. Usually a SR-22 last for three years.
"SR-22 Insurance" is auto insurance that has been endorsed by an SR-22.This endorsement is added to your auto-insurance policy and informs the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the Secretary of State that you comply with the state's minimum requirements for auto insurance.The SR-22 certificate does not affect the cost of your insurance. However, the SR-22 is needed when you have a serious violation, which can affect your risk and which may result in higher insurance rates.The primary reason for the SR-22 requirement is the failure to comply with your state's financial-responsibility (insurance) law. Other violations can include DUIs, drug possession, vehicular assault, and those involving negligence or severe endangerment of other drivers or pedestrians.If the SR-22-endorsed auto-insurance policy has expired or has been canceled, the insurer must file an SR-26, which is a cancellation of your SR-22 certificate. If the filing period has not expired, the state may suspend your driver's license, and your license plates can be confiscated for failure to comply with the SR-22 requirement. If your insurer has cancelled your insurance, you will need to find an insurer who is willing to issue a new SR22 to have your license reinstated.
An SR-22 is an endorsement (certificate) of insurance that is issued by an insurer to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or to the Secretary of State. An SR-22 is generally required after a driver has been cited for driving without proper insurance. It can also be required for traffic-related offenses such as DUIs and those that involve negligence or severe endangerment of other drivers or pedestrians. Your license may be suspended for failure to submit an SR-22 within 30 days after the state's request for proof that you comply with the state's financial-responsibility (insurance) requirements.The following states do not require SR-22s:DelawareKentuckyMinnesotaNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaOklahomaPennsylvaniaAn SR-22 certificate is issued in one of the following forms:The Operator's Certificate is issued if the driver does not own the vehicle(s).The Owner's Certificate is issued if the driver owns the vehicle(s). The type(s) of vehicle must be listed on the SR-22, or the certificate may be issued for "all owned vehicles".The Operator’s/Owner’s Certificate is issued for all vehicles, whether or not owned by the driver.If your SR-22-endorsed auto-insurance policy has expired or has been canceled, your insurer is required to file an SR-26, which states that you no longer comply with the state's insurance laws.The state can then suspend your license, which can be reinstated after your insurer issues another SR-22.
