1.    The director, upon receipt of a certified copy of a judgment or a certified copy of the docket entries in an action resulting in a judgment for damages or a certificate of facts relative to a judgment on a form provided by the director, shall forthwith suspend the license or operating privilege, of any person against whom such judgment was rendered except as hereinafter otherwise provided in this section and in section 39-16.1-06.

2.    If the judgment creditor consents in writing, in such form as the director may prescribe that the judgment debtor be allowed license or nonresident’s operating privilege, the same may be allowed by the director for six months from the date of such consent and thereafter until such consent is revoked in writing, notwithstanding default in the payment of such judgment, or of any installments thereof prescribed in section 39-16.1-06 provided the judgment debtor furnishes proof of financial responsibility.

3.    Any person whose license or nonresident’s operating privilege has been suspended or is about to be suspended or will become subject to suspension under this chapter may be relieved from the effect of the judgment as prescribed in this chapter by filing with the director an affidavit stating that at the time of the accident upon which the judgment has been rendered the affiant was insured, that the insurer is liable to pay the judgment, and the reason, if known, why the insurer has not paid the judgment. That person shall also file the original or a copy of the insurance policy, if available, and any other documents the director may require to show that the loss, injury, or damage for which the judgment was rendered, was covered by the insurance policy. If the director is satisfied from such papers that the insurer was authorized to issue the insurance policy at the time and place of issuing the policy and that the insurer is liable to pay the judgment, at least to the extent and for the amounts required in this chapter, the director may not suspend the license or nonresident’s operating privilege, or if already suspended shall reinstate them.

4.    A license or nonresident’s operating privilege must remain suspended and may not be renewed, nor may any such license be thereafter issued in the name of such person, including any such person not previously licensed, unless and until every such judgment is satisfied in full or to the extent hereinafter provided and until the said     person gives proof of financial responsibility subject to the exemptions stated in sections 39-16.1-04 and 39-16.1-06.
