SR-22 in Rancho Cucamonga: the Haven Avenue courthouse, the DMV hearing and the filing DMV wants
A misdemeanor DUI from Rancho Cucamonga is filed at the Rancho Cucamonga District courthouse, 8303 Haven Avenue, which takes felony and misdemeanor cases for the west end of San Bernardino County — while ordinary traffic tickets from the city go to the Fontana District instead.
Which courthouse, and which police department
The Superior Court’s filing guide lists the Rancho Cucamonga District for felonies and misdemeanors from Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma, Etiwanda, Upland, Ontario, Chino and Chino Hills, Montclair, Fontana and Rialto, among others. Traffic infractions from the same communities are filed at the Fontana District, 17780 Arrow Boulevard.
Inside the city, police services have come through a contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department since Rancho Cucamonga incorporated in 1977. The Rancho Cucamonga Police Department is headquartered at 10510 Civic Center Drive — the department to ask for a report on an arrest or crash on city streets.
The DMV hearing runs on its own clock
Ask for a DMV hearing within 10 days of receiving the suspension order. The hearing looks only at narrow questions: whether the officer had reasonable cause, whether the arrest was lawful, and either the 0.08% test result or whether you refused a test after being warned.
Refusing or failing to complete a blood or breath test carries a one-year suspension for a first offense, a two-year revocation for a second within 10 years and a three-year revocation for a third. A restricted license is not decided at the hearing; you apply for it separately, for example with an ignition interlock device. And a court reduction to reckless driving leaves the DMV suspension where it was.
DUI programs in the west end
DHCS’s directory of licensed DUI providers, updated July 2026, lists a site in Rancho Cucamonga itself and several nearby, each marked for first-offender and 18-month programs (a state listing, not a recommendation):
- Valley Improvement Programs — 8540 Archibald Avenue, Suite A, Rancho Cucamonga
- Valley Improvement Programs — 210 West B Street, Ontario
- Alcohol Education & Recovery Services — 12560 Central Avenue, Chino
- Rehabilitation Alcohol Program — 17205 Arrow Boulevard, Fontana
Keeping the SR-22 alive
Reinstatement after a DUI-type suspension needs an SR-22 covering every vehicle registered to you (Vehicle Code 16431). If that policy lapses, DMV must demand new proof and suspend the license again until it arrives (section 16484); three years after the date the proof was required, DMV may cancel the certificate or waive the filing (section 16480).
Where this comes from
- Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino — Where Can I File? — Rancho Cucamonga District (8303 Haven Avenue) takes felony and misdemeanor filings for Rancho Cucamonga and the west-end communities; traffic infractions go to the Fontana District (17780 Arrow Boulevard).

- California Vehicle Code section 16431 — An authorized insurer’s certificate (SR-22) as proof; after a suspension under the DUI sections it must cover every vehicle registered to the person, except vehicles in storage with plates and registration card surrendered to DMV in Sacramento.
- California Vehicle Code sections 16480–16484 (Article 3, Release of Proof) — DMV may cancel the certificate or waive the filing at any time after three years from the date proof was required (16480); if filed proof stops serving its purpose, DMV requires new proof and suspends the driving privilege until it is filed (16484).
Reviewed 2026-10-18
An SR-22 is not a type of insurance. It is a certificate your carrier files with the California DMV proving you carry at least state-minimum liability, usually required after a suspension, a DUI, too many points or an at-fault accident while uninsured. Auto World writes the policy and sends the filing for Rancho Cucamonga drivers.

9.9% of Rancho Cucamonga workers carpool, and who else drives your car is a question worth answering honestly on the application rather than after a claim. 29 motorcyclists were killed or injured in Rancho Cucamonga in the ranked year, which is the case for carrying more than the minimum on two wheels. 25 cyclists were killed or injured on Rancho Cucamonga streets that year, and a cyclist injury is a liability claim long before it is anything else. 38 fatal or injury collisions in Rancho Cucamonga happened between 9pm and 3am, the hours when a single bad decision can become a claim and a conviction at once. 3.6% of Rancho Cucamonga households do not have a vehicle at all, which is one reason non-owner and named-operator policies come up here. 31.6% of households here keep three or more vehicles, so who drives which car is a question worth settling on the application in Rancho Cucamonga.
