Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Yes, in most cases. 48 states require continuous liability coverage or an SR-22 filing to reinstate your license, even if you're not driving. Letting coverage lapse extends your suspension period and adds reinstatement fees.

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

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with the state proving you carry liability insurance. You need one if your suspension resulted from DUI, excessive points, driving uninsured, or failure to pay fines. Requirements vary by state and violation type.

Can I get insurance without a valid license?

Yes. Non-owner SR-22 policies are specifically designed for drivers without valid licenses who need to satisfy state reinstatement requirements. You purchase the policy, the insurer files the SR-22, and you can begin the reinstatement process.

How long does an SR-22 filing last?

Typically 3 years from the conviction or suspension date, but duration varies by state and violation. California requires 3 years for DUI; Florida requires 3 years for certain violations but can extend to 7 years. Your state DMV sets the term.

What happens if I let my SR-22 lapse?

Your insurer notifies the DMV immediately, and your suspension restarts from day one in most states. You'll pay a new filing fee, reinstatement fee, and potentially face extended suspension periods depending on state law.

Can I get a hardship license while suspended?

32 states offer hardship, occupational, or restricted licenses that allow limited driving during suspension. You typically need proof of employment, school enrollment, or medical necessity, plus SR-22 insurance. Eligibility rules and fees vary by state.
