How do I get an SR22 certificate?

If you own an insured car or motorcycle, contact your current insurance provider. In some cases they may not be able or willing to file an SR22 on your behalf.

How does Virginia SR22 insurance work?

Virginia SR22 insurance is a financial responsibility form that guarantees you will be insured for a future period of time. When you have a suspended license, insurance companies consider you a high-risk driver. In addition to that, the state considers it essential for you to carry minimum liability insurance for a time, in exchange for reinstating your license.

The minimum liability coverage requirements for all drivers (including those who have SR22 insurance) are:

• $30,000 bodily injury or death per person
• $60,000 bodily injury or death per accident
• $20,000 property damage per accident
• $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident for uninsured motorist bodily injury
• $20,000 for uninsured motorist property damage

You must file an SR22 with the Virginia DMV to reinstate your license. Usually, you’ll need to maintain Virginia SR22 insurance for three years. If the insurance policy tied to the SR22 lapses, the state will suspend your license again. You can then submit another SR22 filing, which involves additional reinstatement fees. The state may also extend your SR22 requirement at that time. It’s in your best interest to make your SR22 premium payments in a timely manner and renew your policy early.

Can I get an SR22 without a car?

There are two kinds of Virginia SR22 insurance certificate: owner and non owner. If you own a vehicle, your insurance provider attaches the SR22 certificate to your auto insurance policy. If you don’t own a vehicle, you’ll buy a Virginia non owners insurance policy with an SR22 endorsement. See Non Owner SR22 vs SR22 Insurance for more information about these two kinds of certificates.

How much does Virginia SR22 insurance cost?

Before filing your SR22 Virginia certificate, the state will require you to pay license reinstatement fees and/or other fines and fees. Your insurance provider will charge a small fee for processing and filing your certificate, and your insurance premiums may increase. A number of factors affect how SR22 insurance costs are determined, including the circumstances that led to your SR22 requirement.
