I have SR22 in my current state and I’m moving. How do I keep the filing continuous?
You need SR22 coverage that satisfies the state that mandated it — typically the state where the violation occurred. When you move, you’ll need a new policy in your new state that can file the SR22 back to the original state. Don’t cancel your current policy until the new one is active and the SR22 is filed.
The General Rule
Your SR22 requirement is mandated by the state where the violation occurred. That state continues to require the filing even if you move. The new state may or may not have its own requirements — but the original state’s mandate stays in effect.
Steps to Move Without a Lapse
- Don’t cancel your current policy first — Keep it active until the transition is complete.
- Get a new policy in your new state — You need insurance that covers you where you now live.
- File SR22 back to the original state — Your new carrier must be able to file the SR22 with the state that mandated it.
- Confirm the filing is on record — Before canceling the old policy.
This can be tricky — not every carrier can file SR22 across state lines. Call us at (855) 678-6977 and we’ll help you navigate the transition.
