SR-22 Overview
If you’ve been told you need an SR-22, you may have questions about what it means for your driving record and insurance. At All In One Insurance Services, our team is here to help you understand the SR-22 process and guide you through each step so that you can get back on the road confidently.
What Is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is not insurance, but rather a certificate your insurance company files with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to prove you carry the state’s required minimum liability coverage. It’s often referred to as “SR-22 insurance,” but it’s simply a form that verifies you have active auto insurance as a high-risk driver.
When Is an SR-22 Required?
You may be required to file an SR-22 if your license has been suspended or revoked due to certain violations, such as:
- DUI or DWI convictions
- Reckless driving
- Driving without insurance
- Multiple traffic offenses or at-fault accidents
- Failing to pay court-ordered child support
The DMV will notify you if you need an SR-22 to reinstate your license. In most cases, you’ll need to maintain this filing for three years, but the exact duration can vary based on your situation.
How Does the SR-22 Process Work?
Once the DMV notifies you, you must contact your insurance provider to request an SR-22 filing. Our team at All In One Insurance Services works with drivers across California to:
- Find affordable SR-22 insurance options
- File the SR-22 form directly with the DMV
