FAQ

A: An SR-22 is a certificate of insurance that proves you carry car insurance. Some people refer to it as SR-22 car insurance or a certificate of financial responsibility (CFR) filing. No matter what you call it, an SR-22 simply states you meet your state’s car insurance coverage requirements for driving during a required period.

A: Not all drivers need SR-22s. Each state has its own specific requirements, but as a rule of thumb, drivers with one or more of the following violations on their recent driving record will likely need an SR-22: – Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) – Driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license – Causing an accident while driving without insurance – Being charged for repeated traffic offenses—like multiple speeding tickets over the course of a few months—or severe violations, such as reckless driving . If you meet this criteria and a court or the state determines you need an SR-22, you’ll be notified and receive clear direction—either in-person during your hearing, or via a letter from your state’s department of motor vehicles (DMV).

A: Yes, you usually need SR-22 insurance after a suspended license. Filing an SR-22 is often a requirement for a driver to reinstate their suspended license, but it does not allow someone to drive while the suspension is still in effect.

A:You must maintain a valid SR-22 for two years from the date of your most recent conviction, or the date that a judgement has been rendered against you. Failure to maintain an SR-22 for two years without a lapse in coverage can result in additional enforcement actions and/or reinstatement fees.

A: To find out if you still need an SR-22, contact your local DMV office and ask if your SR-22 form has been filed for the required period of time. If it has, you can then contact your car insurance company and request that they remove your SR-22 filing with the state.

A: If your driver’s license has been suspended, your state Department of Motor Vehicles may require you to obtain an SR-22 document, also known as a Certificate of Financial Responsibility. An SR-22 verifies the purchase of vehicle insurance coverage required by the state for reinstatement of driving privileges.

A: To get an SR-22 removed, a driver needs to contact their insurance company once they are no longer required to have the SR-22 on file with their state DMV. While each state has its own rules for how long drivers must maintain an SR-22, it can usually be removed after 3-5 years.

A: How do you get an SR-22? If your insurance company offers SR-22 form filings, all you have to do is call them and they’ll take care of it. They’ll add the SR-22 endorsement to your existing policy and then file the SR-22 insurance document with the state that requires it.

A: An SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility required for some drivers by their state or court order. An SR-22 is not an actual “type” of insurance, but a form filed with your state. This form serves as proof your auto insurance policy meets the minimum liability coverage required by state law.

A: SR-22 (the “SR” stands for “safety responsibility”) is a document that verifies that someone has automobile insurance. The SR22 is prepared by an insurance company and then filed (by the insurance company) with the department of motor vehicles (DMV).
