Any person whose license is suspended as herein provided, or whose insurance policy or bond, when required under this chapter, is canceled or terminated, or who neglects to furnish other proof upon request of the director shall immediately return that person's operator's license to the director. If any person fails to return to the director the license as required by this section, the director shall forthwith direct any peace officer to secure possession of the license and return the license to the director.
39-16-30. Operating while under suspension or revocation - Penalties.
1. It is a class B misdemeanor for any person whose license or nonresident's operating privilege has been suspended or revoked under this chapter to drive any motor vehicle upon any highway except as permitted under this chapter during such suspension or revocation.
2. It is a class B misdemeanor for any person to violate any of the provisions of this chapter for which a specific penalty is not provided.
39-16.1-08. Proof of financial responsibility.
Proof of financial responsibility when required under this chapter may be given by filing:
1. A certificate of insurance as provided in sections 39-16.1-09 and 39-16.1-10;
2. A bond as provided in section 39-16.1-14; or
3. A certificate of deposit of money or securities as provided in section 39-16.1-15.
39-16.1-09. Proof by showing insurance coverage.
1. Proof of financial responsibility may be furnished by filing with the director the written or electronically transmitted certificate of any insurance carrier duly authorized to do business in this state certifying that there is in effect a motor vehicle liability policy for the benefit of the person required to furnish proof of financial responsibility. Such certificate must give the effective date of such motor vehicle liability policy, which date shall be the same as the effective date of the certificate, and must designate by explicit description or by appropriate reference all motor vehicles covered thereby, unless the policy is an operator's policy.
2. When a certificate is filed showing that a policy or policies have been issued covering certain described motor vehicles or a limited operator's policy but not insuring such person when operating all other motor vehicles, the director shall designate suitable restriction upon the driver's license of such person authorizing the operation of only such vehicles as are covered by the certificate. It is unlawful for such person to operate any motor vehicle not covered by such certificate. In the event a person desires to be relieved of the foregoing restriction and to be permitted to operate any motor vehicle, the person may have such restriction removed upon filing a certificate showing that there has been issued to the person a motor vehicle liability policy insuring the person against liability arising out of the use of any motor vehicle.
39-16.1-10. Nonresident owner.
1. The nonresident owner of a motor vehicle not registered in this state may give proof of financial responsibility by filing with the director a written or electronically transmitted certificate of an insurance carrier authorized to transact business in the state in which the motor vehicle or motor vehicles described in such certificate is registered, or if such nonresident does not own a motor vehicle, then in the state in which the insured resides, provided such certificate otherwise conforms to the provisions of this chapter, and the director shall accept the same upon condition that said insurance carrier complies with the following provisions with respect to the policies so certified:
a. Said insurance carrier shall execute a power of attorney authorizing the director to accept service on its behalf of notice or process in any action arising out of a motor vehicle accident in this state.
b. Said insurance carrier shall agree in writing that such policies shall be deemed to conform with the laws of this state relating to the terms of motor vehicle liability policies issued herein.
39-16.1-18. Procedure on failure of proof on file.
Whenever any proof of financial responsibility filed under the provisions of this chapter no longer fulfills the purposes for which required, the director shall, for the purpose of this chapter, require other proof as required by this chapter and shall suspend the license or the nonresident's operating privilege upon failure to file such other proof as required.
39-16.1-20. Seizure or return of operator's license.
Any person whose operator's license is suspended as herein provided, or whose insurance policy or bond, when required under this chapter, is canceled or terminated, or who neglects to furnish other proof upon request of the director shall immediately return the license to the director. If any person fails to return to the director the license as required by this section, the director shall forthwith direct any peace officer to secure possession of the license and return the license to the director.

No operator's license may be returned to an individual unless that person files with the director a verified statement confirming the person's insurance coverages as required by section 39-08-20. The verified statement must include the name of the insurance carrier and the effective dates of the policy. Upon the request of the director, the insurance carrier will verify the information contained in the verified statement.

The period of suspension may not exceed six months. Any suspension must be initiated under section 39-06-33. An operator whose license is suspended under this section is not eligible for a temporary operator's permit.
