What Is an SR-22?

An SR-22 is not an insurance policy, but rather a certificate your insurance company files with the state to confirm you carry the required minimum liability coverage. It’s often required for drivers considered high-risk due to certain violations or incidents.

Who Needs an SR-22?

You may be required to file an SR-22 if you have:

A DUI or DWI conviction
A license suspension or revocation
Multiple serious traffic offenses
A history of driving without insurance or proof of insurance
Unpaid judgments related to accidents

Both vehicle owners and non-owners (i.e., those who drive, but don’t own a car) may need an SR-22, depending on the situation.

How Long Must You Maintain an SR-22?

In Oakland, CA, most drivers must maintain an SR-22 for three years, though the exact duration can vary based on the offense. If your policy lapses or is canceled during this time, your insurer is required to notify the DMV, which could result in another license suspension and restart your requirement period.
