Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Yes, in most states. Even if you can't legally drive, many states require you to maintain continuous insurance coverage to avoid extending your suspension or incurring additional penalties. If you don't own a car, a non-owner policy satisfies this requirement.

What is an SR-22 and do I need one?

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance company files with the DMV proving you carry state-required coverage. You need one if your suspension resulted from DUI, reckless driving, driving uninsured, or accumulating too many points. Your state will notify you if filing is required.

How long do I have to keep SR-22 insurance?

Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years from your conviction date, not your filing date. If your policy lapses during that period, your insurer notifies the DMV and your suspension restarts. Continuous coverage is mandatory to avoid extending the requirement.

Which insurance companies file SR-22 forms?

Not all carriers file SR-22 certificates. Progressive, GEICO, State Farm, Nationwide, and The General are among the largest that do. Some standard carriers won't insure drivers with recent suspensions, so you may need a non-standard or high-risk specialist.
