How does an SR22 help with license reinstatement?
Direct Answer
An SR22 filing proves to the state that you carry the required minimum liability coverage. Once your carrier files the certificate with the DMV, you can pay any outstanding reinstatement fees and have your driving privileges restored.
The Reinstatement Process
- Purchase an SR22 policy — Buy an auto insurance policy (or non-owner policy) that meets your state's minimum coverage requirements.
- Carrier files the SR22 — Your insurance carrier electronically files the SR22 certificate with your state's DMV. We do this the same day.
- Pay reinstatement fees — Most states charge a fee to the DMV to restore your license. This is separate from your insurance cost.
- License restored — Once the SR22 is on file and fees are paid, your driving privileges are reinstated.
Same-Day Filing
We file SR22 certificates electronically, which means the state receives confirmation the same day. In many cases, you can complete the entire process — purchase the policy, file the SR22, pay reinstatement fees — and have your license restored within hours.
