Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Most states require continuous insurance or an SR-22 filing to reinstate your license, even during the suspension period. Letting coverage lapse can extend your suspension or reset your SR-22 filing period. A non-owner policy satisfies this requirement if you don't own a vehicle.

Can I get a hardship license while suspended?

37 states offer hardship, occupational, or restricted licenses that allow driving to work, school, or medical appointments during suspension. Eligibility depends on your violation type—DUI suspensions often require longer waiting periods than point-based suspensions. You must carry SR-22 insurance to qualify.

How long does SR-22 filing last?

SR-22 filing periods typically last 3 years from your conviction or reinstatement date, depending on state rules. If your policy lapses or cancels during this period, your insurer notifies the DMV and your suspension reinstates immediately. The clock resets in most states.

What happens if I move to another state with an SR-22?

You must notify your insurer and file an SR-22 in your new state if that state requires one. Some states accept out-of-state SR-22 filings temporarily, but most require a new filing within 30–60 days of establishing residency. Your filing period continues—it does not restart.
