About the SR-22
What happens after a license suspension?
In many cases, reinstating your license requires proof that you carry active auto insurance. Requirements vary based on your situation and state guidelines. Reviewing your court or DMV notice will clarify what’s needed. Depending on the reason for suspension, you may need:
A new active auto insurance policy
An SR-22 filing
Continuous coverage for a required period
Confirmation submitted to the DMV

Got questions?
We have answers for you on all things insurance.
Can I get insurance if my license is suspended?
Insurance options may still be available depending on your driving history and eligibility. Completing a quote is the best way to see what options may be available to you.
Do I always need an SR-22 after a suspension?
Not every suspension requires an SR-22. Requirements depend on the reason for suspension and state guidelines.
How long does a suspension affect insurance rates?
Rates are influenced by factors such as violation history, location, vehicle, and coverage limits. Over time, driving history may have less impact.
Can I start insurance before my license is reinstated?
In many situations, drivers must secure active insurance before reinstatement can be completed.
What happens if I let coverage lapse again?
If your suspension involved insurance requirements, a lapse in coverage could delay reinstatement or extend required filing periods.
