Frequently Asked Questions

What is SR-22 insurance and who needs it?

SR-22 is not insurance — it's a certificate your insurer files with the state proving you carry minimum liability coverage. You need it after a DUI, license suspension, multiple violations, or driving without insurance. Most states require it for 3 years, though this varies.

Can I get SR-22 insurance with a DUI on my record?

Yes. Non-standard carriers specialize in covering drivers with DUIs and will file SR-22 on your behalf. Rates are higher — often 2-3 times standard premiums — but coverage is available. Your premiums typically decrease after 3-5 years if you maintain a clean record.

How long do I need to carry SR-22?

Most states require SR-22 for 3 years from your conviction or reinstatement date. If your policy lapses during this period, your insurer must notify the state and your license can be suspended again. Some states require SR-22 for 5 years or longer for repeat offenses.

What happens if my SR-22 insurance lapses?

Your insurer is required to notify your state's DMV within 24-48 hours of cancellation. Your license will be suspended immediately in most states, and you'll need to refile SR-22 and potentially restart your required filing period. Avoid lapses at all cost.
