What is an SR-22?

 

A: SR-22 is an insurance policy named after the SR-22 DMV form, the insurance policy created to insure DUI, DWI, and other high risk drivers. Most states require persons convicted of DUI/DWI to obtain an SR-22 from their automobile insurer. Once a driver requests an SR-22 the insurance company is placed upon notice of the DUI conviction. An SR-22 requires your insurance company to notify the DMV if your insurance policy is canceled.


Unfortunately, the SR-22 is not standard with every insurance carrier. If your current insurance carrier can not provide you with an SR-22 they may be forced to cancel your policy.
