Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is currently suspended?

Most states require you to carry liability insurance and file proof with the DMV before they'll reinstate your license. The insurance obligation begins before reinstatement, not after. A few states allow hardship licenses without insurance, but these are exceptions.

What is SR-22 and do I need it?

SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with the state DMV proving you carry at least minimum liability coverage. Required after DUI, multiple violations, driving uninsured, or serious at-fault accidents in 49 states. The filing period typically lasts 3 years.

How long do I have to carry SR-22?

Three years is the standard requirement in most states, measured from your conviction or reinstatement date. If your policy lapses or cancels during that period, the clock resets and you start the 3-year count over from the new filing date.

What happens if I move to another state while carrying SR-22?

You must notify your new state's DMV and obtain SR-22 filing there if it's required. The filing obligation follows you across state lines. Some states honor out-of-state filings temporarily, but most require you to establish new coverage and file proof within 30–60 days of residency.
