Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is currently suspended?

Yes, in most states. Nearly all states require proof of continuous insurance coverage to reinstate a suspended license, even during the suspension period. Allowing coverage to lapse can extend your suspension and trigger additional reinstatement fees.

What is an SR-22 and do I need one?

An SR-22 is a certificate filed by your insurer proving you carry liability coverage. You need one if your suspension resulted from DUI, reckless driving, at-fault accidents without insurance, or accumulating excessive points. Your state DMV will notify you if SR-22 filing is required.

How long do I need to maintain SR-22 coverage?

Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years from your conviction or reinstatement date. Letting your policy lapse during this period triggers an automatic license suspension and restarts the 3-year clock in many states.

What happens if I move to a different state during my suspension?

Your suspension follows you. Most states share violation and suspension data through interstate compacts. You must satisfy reinstatement requirements in the state that issued the suspension before obtaining a license in your new state.

Can I get a hardship or restricted license while suspended?

Many states allow restricted licenses for work, medical appointments, or school after a portion of your suspension period. Eligibility depends on violation type, prior record, and completion of requirements like alcohol education programs. You still need insurance to qualify.
