Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance while my license is suspended?

Most states require proof of insurance to reinstate your license, even if you cannot legally drive during the suspension. A non-owner policy satisfies this requirement without owning a vehicle. Some states allow you to surrender your plates and registration instead, but this does not satisfy SR-22 filing requirements if ordered by the court.

How long does an SR-22 filing last?

SR-22 filing periods last 3 years in most states, measured from the violation or conviction date. Virginia and Florida require 3 years; California requires 3 years for most DUI cases. Your carrier must maintain the filing continuously — any lapse triggers an automatic license suspension and restarts the clock.

What happens if I move to a new state during my SR-22 period?

You must notify your new state's DMV and obtain a policy from a carrier licensed to file SR-22 forms in that state. The filing period continues under the original state's rules, but the new state enforces its own liability minimums and reinstatement procedures. Some states honor out-of-state SR-22 filings; others require a new filing.

What violations require SR-22 filing?

DUI or DWI convictions, driving without insurance, repeated at-fault accidents, accumulating excessive points, and certain license suspensions trigger SR-22 requirements in most states. Courts or DMVs issue the order as part of reinstatement conditions. Minor speeding tickets and single non-injury accidents typically do not require SR-22.
