What is an SR22 Filing? What is an FR44 Filing?

An SR-22 Filing is required to life the suspension on your drivers license following a DUI, DWI, OUI, or OVWI conviction. An SR-22 Filing is a form issued by an insurance company, which removes a suspension order placed by the DMV on your driving privilege. The filing provides a guarantee to the Department of Motor Vehicles that an insurance company has issued at least minimum liability coverage for the person making that filing; AND - that the insurance company will notify the DMV should the insurance ever lapse for any reason.

In many cases, we can help by electronically filing an SR22 with the DMV the same day you purchase your insurance (depending on the time of day). You also have the option of having us send you an original SR22 via US Mail (free) or Federal Express. If you are close to our office, you are welcome to come in and pick one up.

As long as your insurance policy is in force (active), your SR22 should remain valid. If your policy should be cancelled at any point while you are required to have an SR22 on file, your insurance company will notify the appropriate authorities. If you fail to maintain the appropriate filing, you driving privileges may be suspended. It is very important to keep the proper filings in place.

Generally speaking, you need the SR22 filing for 3 years, but this can vary based on many factors, including your conviction date and other dates imposed by the DMV (or similar entity in your state). If this is a second, third, or fourth offense, you may have extended requirements. Offenses beyond that could have other requirements. Rules may vary by location as well.
