Frequently asked questions
What is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the state to show that a driver carries required liability coverage. It is not a separate insurance policy.
What is the difference between owner and non-owner SR-22 insurance?
An owner policy generally covers a vehicle you own. A non-owner policy may be available to an eligible driver who does not own or regularly use a vehicle. Eligibility and permitted use vary by carrier and circumstances.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
Depending on your situation, a non-owner policy with an SR-22 filing may be available. Tell the agent about every vehicle you own, regularly drive or have access to so the carrier can determine eligibility.
How quickly can an SR-22 be filed?
Filing timing varies by insurer and DMV processing. Some carriers may transmit filings electronically after the policy is approved, issued and paid. Confirm receipt and reinstatement requirements directly with the DMV.
Does an SR-22 automatically reinstate my license?
No. The filing may satisfy one insurance requirement, but the DMV or court may require additional steps, fees or waiting periods. Review your notice and confirm completion directly with the issuing authority.
Can I obtain same-day coverage?
In many cases, some carriers may offer a same-day effective date after receiving a complete application, required documents, underwriting approval and applicable payment. Availability is not guaranteed and varies by carrier, product and the applicant’s circumstances.
