Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Yes, in most states. Nearly every state requires you to carry liability insurance and file proof with the DMV before they'll reinstate your license. If you don't own a vehicle, a non-owner policy satisfies this requirement.

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

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance company files with the state proving you carry liability coverage. You need one after DUI convictions, multiple at-fault accidents, driving without insurance, or accumulating excessive points. Filing periods typically last 3 years.

Can I get insurance without owning a car?

Yes. A non-owner policy provides liability coverage when you drive borrowed or rental vehicles and satisfies state SR-22 filing requirements. Most suspended license drivers who don't own cars use non-owner policies for reinstatement.

How long does SR-22 filing last?

Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years from your conviction date or reinstatement date, depending on the violation. If your policy lapses during this period, your insurer notifies the state and your license is re-suspended.

What happens if I let my SR-22 policy lapse?

Your insurance company notifies the state within 24 hours and your license is immediately re-suspended. You'll need to purchase a new policy, refile the SR-22, and often pay reinstatement fees again before driving legally.
