    Unhappy SR-22 Form Required Within 30 Days for Mass. License, but Running Out of Time

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: MA/NH

    Hi my friend is a MA driver with a NH DUI offense. It is a 2nd offense - the first was 7 yrs ago in MA. MA & NH are considered “sister states” so therefore she has had to complete various programs and requirements of each of the 2 states over the past 2 years. Now at this point she is happy because she could have the MA driving license reinstated with Interlock Device (and then after 2 years the Device restriction would be removed). For this to happen though, she is required by the state of NH to have her Massachusetts-based insurance company file an SR-22 form with the NH Dmv. This is essential.
    The problem she had some trouble with the time constraint of 30 days maximum to complete the process (install device, pass written permit and finally a road test retake) in order to qualify to get that form filed --- her 30 days began on Oct 5 but her driving test is scheduled next week on Nov. 3. She thought that if she passes that road test next week then she would just barely make it within 30 days. However, sadly, she just found out that the insurance company says that from that point they have a process of “Up to 2 weeks” to get the form out.
    Calling NH Dmv, she was told that once they received it they would accept the SR-22 and turn it around by next day. Apparently from what they said, possibilities were 1.) if she could somehow go pick up that form herself and handdeliver it- OR - 2.) if the insurance co. were to overnight fedex it to the Dmv.
    (If the 30-day requirement is not met then she is told that she has to go back to square one of the NH part of her sentence and do everything over.)

    And the reason she can't hand-deliver the document, or give her insurance company a postage paid FedEx overnight envelope (with a clear understanding that they would in fact overnight it) so they can send it overnight, is what?
