Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Yes, most states require you to maintain continuous liability insurance even during suspension to avoid extending the suspension period or adding reinstatement fees. Letting coverage lapse can restart your SR-22 filing clock.

What is an SR-22 and who needs one?

An SR-22 is a state-mandated proof-of-insurance certificate filed by your insurer with the DMV. You need one after DUI/DWI, reckless driving, driving uninsured, accumulating excessive points, or causing an at-fault accident without coverage.

How long does SR-22 filing last?

SR-22 filing periods range from 1 to 5 years depending on your state and violation. Most states require 3 years from the conviction date for DUI offenses and 3 years for uninsured driving violations.

What happens if I miss a payment on my SR-22 policy?

Your insurer must notify the state within 10 days of a lapse. The DMV will suspend your license again immediately, and you'll need to refile SR-22 and pay a new reinstatement fee to restore driving privileges.

Can I switch insurance companies during my SR-22 period?

Yes, but there must be no coverage gap. Your new insurer files an SR-22 with the state when your policy starts, and your old insurer files an SR-26 cancellation notice. Any lapse restarts the filing clock.
