I got a DUI in Florida. Do I need SR22 or FR44?
If your violation was a DUI in Florida, you need FR44 — not SR22. Florida reserves FR44 for DUI-related offenses, while SR22 covers non-DUI violations like driving without insurance or a suspended license.
Florida’s Two-Filing System
Florida is unique in having two different financial responsibility filings:
- FR44 — Required after a DUI conviction. Mandates enhanced liability limits of $100,000/$300,000/$50,000.
- SR22 — Required for non-DUI violations (driving without insurance, excessive points, suspended license). Uses Florida’s standard minimum limits.
Why It Matters
Filing the wrong form delays your reinstatement. If you have a DUI conviction and file an SR22, the DHSMV will reject it — you need the enhanced FR44 coverage. Conversely, if your violation is non-DUI, you don’t need to pay for the higher FR44 limits.
