SR-22 Overview

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:
