Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Most states require continuous liability coverage or an SR-22 filing even during suspension to avoid extending the suspension period. Letting coverage lapse can restart your SR-22 filing clock or add penalty suspensions in 38 states.

How long does SR-22 filing last?

SR-22 filing periods range from 1 to 5 years depending on your state and violation. California requires 3 years after most DUI convictions; Florida requires 3 years for DUI-related suspensions; Virginia requires 3 years for most serious violations.

Can I get insurance with a suspended license?

Yes. Most non-standard carriers and several major carriers issue policies to drivers with suspended licenses, especially if you need SR-22 filing for reinstatement. You cannot legally drive until the suspension is lifted, but you can maintain required coverage.

What happens if my SR-22 lapses?

Your insurance carrier notifies the state DMV within 24 hours of cancellation. The state typically suspends your license again and restarts your SR-22 filing period from zero, adding 6-12 months to your total requirement in most states.
