Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Is SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is commonly a California proof certificate filed by an insurance company as evidence of financial responsibility. The filing must connect to an eligible policy or proof option.
How long do I need to keep SR-22 proof?
Your notice controls. For certain California financial responsibility suspensions, DMV says proof must be filed and maintained for three years.
Can I get SR-22 help if I do not own a car?
Possibly. Depending on the requirement and carrier rules, some drivers ask about operator or non-owned vehicle options. Bring the DMV notice so the office can review the facts.
What happens if the policy lapses?
A cancellation or lapse can create DMV problems when proof must be maintained. Ask about payment dates, renewal timing, and cancellation reporting before you bind.
