Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Most states require continuous liability insurance or an SR-22 filing during your suspension period to avoid extension of the suspension. Letting coverage lapse can reset your reinstatement clock and add fees. Check your suspension notice for specific insurance requirements.

What is an SR-22 and how long do I need it?

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance carrier files with the DMV proving you carry at least state minimum liability coverage. Most states require 3 years of continuous SR-22 filing after DUI or suspension, though Virginia and Florida require different durations.

What happens if I miss a payment during SR-22 filing?

Your carrier must notify the DMV within 10–30 days of a lapse, which triggers automatic re-suspension in most states. You'll need to reinstate again, pay new fees, and restart your SR-22 clock.

Can I get a hardship license while suspended?

37 states offer hardship, occupational, or restricted licenses allowing limited driving to work, school, or medical appointments during suspension. Requirements vary by state but usually include SR-22 filing, reinstatement fees, and proof of employment or enrollment.
