You’re not alone. Many drivers are required to file an SR-22 at some point — and there are still insurance options available.

Has a major violation on record

About the SR-22
How long do you need an SR-22?
An SR-22 is not a type of insurance policy. It’s a certificate filed with the state that proves you carry the required minimum auto insurance coverage.
In California, an SR-22 is often required after:
A DUI conviction, driving without insurance, multiple violations, license suspension, and certain court orders.
What is an SR-22 for?
The SR-22 filing confirms to the state that your policy is active. If your coverage lapses while the SR-22 requirement is in place, the insurance company is required to notify the DMV.
