SR-22 InsuranceAn SR-22 is a state-mandated certificate proving you carry liability insurance, typically required after DUI, excessive points, or driving uninsured. Most states require you to maintain it for 3 years without lapses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

It depends on the suspension type and your state. Most DUI and uninsured-driver suspensions require you to carry insurance and file an SR-22 during the suspension period to qualify for reinstatement. Administrative suspensions for unpaid tickets or child support often don't require active coverage until you apply to reinstate.

How long do I have to keep an SR-22 on file?

Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years after a DUI or major violation, measured from the conviction or reinstatement date. Some states require 5 years for repeat offenses. If your policy lapses during this period, your insurer notifies the DMV and your license is re-suspended.

What happens if I let my SR-22 insurance lapse?

If your SR-22 insurance lapses, your carrier notifies the state DMV within 10 days and your license is automatically re-suspended. You'll pay reinstatement fees again, restart the SR-22 filing clock, and face higher premiums for the lapse on your record.
