SR-22 Insurance Explained

Like other types of auto insurance, SR-22 insurance is basically a document that proves you have financial responsibility. If you are cited by law enforcement for driving without insurance then you will be required to carry proof of SR-22 insurance for roughly three years just as if you were on probation.

  • Suspended or revoked license
  • Being involved in an at-fault accident without insurance

You can find SR-22 insurance through most insurance providers. If you require SR-22 insurance then you should get in contact with an auto insurance agent about their offerings. Some companies will file the SR-22 insurance form for you at your state’s DMV. The minimum requirements that your SR-22 insurance must meet vary from state to state with some states also charging filing fee.
