What is SR22 Insurance?
What is an SR22?
An SR22 is a financial responsibility filing attached to your auto insurance that is filed with the DMV by an insurance company. SR22’s are basically a form that is filed by your car insurance company with the DMV that lets them know you have valid liability auto insurance. If at any time your SR22 auto insurance becomes cancelled, an SR-26 is sent by them to the DMV that lets them know your car insurance has been cancelled. This will usually result in the suspension of your driver’s license.
How much does SR-22 insurance cost?
SR22s are fairly inexpensive, most insurance companies will charge a onetime filing fee of around $20. The main cost associated with an SR-22 is the actual cost of the liability auto insurance. Remember, an SR-22 is only a filing with the DMV to let them know that you’re carrying valid car insurance. Since car insurance rates vary from person to person, the true cost of an SR-22 depends on your specific situation as well.

Why do I need an SR-22 filing?
An SR22 filing is usually required by the DMV after something has happened with your driving privileges. If your license has been suspended, usually due to a DUI, or if you were involved in an accident while not having valid auto insurance, the DMV may require you carry valid auto insurance in order to receive your driver’s license back. An SR-22 is a filing from your auto insurance company to the DMV letting them know you have an active auto insurance policy; it’s basically a way for the DMV to keep you on check regarding your auto insurance. If your insurance policy cancels at any time, the insurance company must inform the DMV which will usually result in the suspension of your license again. If you don’t own a car you will still need to purchase a non owners SR22 insurance policy in order to get your license back.

Is DUI insurance the same as SR22 insurance?
Not really, an SR-22 is a filing attached to your auto insurance and a DUI is a violation that’s rated on your auto insurance. Usually when convicted for DUI, an individual is required to carry SR-22 Insurance for a period of 3 years but not all people with SR22 ins have been convicted of a DUI. The DMV may require you to carry SR22 ins for other reasons such as, but not limited to, being involved in an accident without a valid insurance policy or if you’re considered a High Risk Driver. Many people do consider DUI Insurance to be the same as DUI Insurance.
