• What is an sr22 filing?

An SR22 filing is an endorsement (addendum) to an auto insurance policy (it does not have to include an auto).  This filing provides communication from the issuing insurance company to the DMV of the state involved.  As long as the policy stays in force, your license will remain valid until you serve the required time.  Once the required time has been served, the state will dismiss any restrictions on your license.

• Why would someone need an sr22 filing?

An SR22 would be needed normally under these circumstances:

1. DUI , Wet reckless charge, reckless driving or any serious moving violation
2. At-fault accidents while driving without insurance
3. Repeat traffic offenses or getting too many tickets in a short time period
4. License suspension or revoked license

• What information is listed on an sr-22?

An SR-22 lists your personal information and your auto insurance information, including whether you own the policy or are an operator on it, as well as certification from your insurance company that you have the proper amounts of insurance specified by your state. A properly completed and filed SR-22 will help you remain legal to drive.

• What happens if I want to cancel my sr-22?

If, at any point, your insurance policy is canceled while you're still required to carry an SR-22, your insurance company is required to notify your state, which will invalidate your SR-22 and could cause your driving privileges to be revoked. As long as your insurance policy remains active, your SR-22 should remain valid.

• What happens when I no longer need an sr-22?

Once you're no longer required to maintain your SR-22, you simply notify your insurance company to file the paperwork — generally an SR-26 form — to cancel it. Your insurance company may require you to provide proof that the SR-22 has indeed been lifted, but filing the paperwork should be fairly simple.
