What is the SR-22?

What Is an SR-22 in San Diego?

An SR-22 is a form filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that verifies you carry the minimum required liability insurance. When an SR-22 is required, your insurance company files the form electronically with the DMV after issuing a qualifying auto insurance policy.

If your policy cancels or lapses during the SR-22 filing period, your insurance company must notify the DMV. This can result in your license being suspended again, which is why maintaining continuous coverage is important. The SR-22 confirms that your policy meets California’s minimum liability requirements:
$30,000
Bodily injury liability per person
$60,000
Bodily injury liability per accident
$15,000
Property damage liability
