If you’re eligible for license reinstatement after a DUI offense, a Virginia FR44 insurance certificate is one of the requirements you must complete. Filing this certificate, and keeping your insurance policy current while the state requires it allows you to reinstate your driving privileges. You can get FR44 insurance if you own a vehicle or not, and the certificate can also attach to a motorcycle insurance policy.
Any person with a DUI conviction in Virginia must carry Virginia FR44 insurance to reinstate their license. Two states currently use an FR44 filing system specifically for alcohol-related offenses: Florida and Virginia. Virginia was the first state to adopt this separate filing system in 2008. Electronic filing is the usual method of submitting the certificate to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This allows for faster processing and better efficiency. If you’re already working with someone at the DMV who requires you to file manually, UltraCar Insurance can file manually at your request.
