If you have a driver’s license suspension, you’ll need to get high-risk auto insurance – SR22 insurance Michigan – to reinstate it. An SR22 is not an insurance policy, but an endorsement to an auto or non-owner insurance policy. To complete the license reinstatement process, your insurance provider files the certificate with the Michigan Secretary of State’s office.
The insurance company that issues your SR22 policy monitors it to ensure you maintain it for the time the state requires. This is because your financial responsibility form is a guarantee of future insurance coverage. Most people who require SR22 insurance must carry it for three years. The insurance company notifies the state if your policy lapses or if you cancel the coverage by filing an SR26 form with the state. The result is another license suspension or revocation.
Reasons for license suspension requiring SR22 insurance Michigan:
- Refusal to submit a breath or blood alcohol test
- DUI or DWI offenses
- Uninsured accidents
- Multiple points against your DMV record
- Child support or neglect cases
- Legal judgments
If you want to reinstate your driver’s license but don’t own a vehicle, you’ll need to purchase a non owner SR22 insurance Michigan certificate. NOTE: Effective February 2018, UltraCar Insurance does not offer non owner SR22 in Michigan.
Detailed information about license restoration and Road to Restoration Clinics for those with DUI license suspensions are available on the Michigan Department of State website.
