What Is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is a form your insurance company sends to the California DMV to certify that you carry the minimum required liability coverage. It's not a separate insurance policy, but a rider attached to your existing policy.
When Do You Need One?
- After a DUI/DWI conviction
- After driving without insurance
- After accumulating too many points on your license
- After an uninsured accident
How Long Must You Keep It?
In California, you're typically required to maintain an SR-22 for 3 years. If your policy is canceled during that time, your insurer immediately notifies the DMV and you could lose your license.
How Much Does It Cost?
The form itself costs between $15 and $50. However, having an SR-22 on your record generally increases your insurance premium. We can help you find the most affordable option available.
