This is an example of a Florida FR44 Certificate

After a Florida DUI license suspension, you'll file a Florida FR44 insurance certificate to regain driving privileges.

If you want to reinstate your license after a DUI offense, you’ll have to file a Florida FR44 insurance certificate with Florida HSMV. FR44 is required to reinstate your license after an alcohol or drug-related motor vehicle conviction. The state usually requires you to keep this insurance for three years, or longer if circumstances warrant. You can obtain a Florida FR44 certificate if you own a vehicle or not.

After a DUI/DWI license suspension, part of the reinstatement process includes filing a Florida FR44 insurance certificate with the state. FR44 insurance is also called Florida DUI insurance.

Trying to figure out all the ins and outs of obtaining Florida FR44 insurance can be confusing. Our licensed agents can guide you through the process and complete an electronic filing of your FR44 certificate within 20 minutes.

What is FR44 insurance?

What’s the difference between SR22 and FR44 insurance? SR22 insurance Florida is for non-alcohol related traffic offenses. FR44 insurance is for DUI/DWI offenses. You’ll want to keep your FR44 certificate in good standing without lapse to avoid another license suspension. Initially and at renewal, you’ll have to pay your FR44 premium in full for six months.

How much does Florida DUI insurance cost?

Factors like age, gender, marital status, claims history, driving record, and where you reside determine your auto insurance rate. Florida’s already high premiums for standard auto insurance will likely double when you have an FR44 requirement.

The minimum auto insurance coverage required of all Florida drivers is $10,000 no-fault or personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 property damage liability (PDL). After a DUI conviction, the state requires you to carry insurance with much higher liability coverage. Therefore, you can expect significantly higher premiums. Minimum coverage requirements for Florida FR44 insurance increase as follows:

  • $100,000 bodily injury per individual per one accident
  • $300,000 bodily injury per one accident
  • $50,000 property damage per one accident

Other expenses associated with a DUI conviction include fines, fees, and the cost of installing a Florida ignition interlock device if required.

Owner and non-owner FR44 certificates

Do you need Florida FR44 insurance but don’t own a vehicle? You can fulfill your FR44 requirement with a non-owners insurance certificate. A non-owner FR44 offers secondary liability insurance coverage if you drive a car you don’t own. See our Florida Non Owner FR44 page for more information. You can also obtain FR44 motorcycle insurance or a commercial auto insurance policy with an FR44 endorsement.

What if you move to another state?

Florida owner and non owner FR44 policies always have six-month terms. You’ll have to maintain this insurance for three years in most cases, even if you move to another state. No other state except Florida and Virginia issue FR44 certificates. And no insurance company can issue or process an out-of-state FR44 filing.

So what happens to your FR44 if you move out of state? You should contact your insurance provider for advice before you move. If you stop paying your Florida FR44 insurance premiums, you’ll likely experience problems getting a driver’s license, auto registration, or insurance in your new state.
