What is the SR-22?

What Is an SR-22 in San Francisco?

An SR-22 is a certificate filed by your insurance company with the state to show that you have the required auto insurance coverage in place. Drivers in San Francisco may be asked to obtain an SR-22 after certain license-related or insurance-related events, such as a suspension, major violation, or lapse in coverage.

Although people often refer to “SR-22 insurance” as though it were its own policy, the SR-22 is actually a filing attached to an eligible insurance policy. Depending on your situation, you may need either a standard auto policy with an SR-22 filing or a non-owner policy if you do not own a vehicle.

This page is designed to help San Francisco drivers understand their options and take the next step. For a broader explanation of California filing requirements, our California SR-22 page covers this in more detail.
