Need an SR-22 at the Santa Monica DMV? Get It Without Driving Anywhere
If the Santa Monica DMV told you to file an SR-22, there’s no need to drive to an insurance office, which matters if your license is suspended. A licensed MIS agent can issue your SR-22 by phone in minutes while you’re still at the DMV on Colorado Avenue.
Or call (800) 726-0640. A live, licensed agent answers. Hablamos español.

Just got a DUI?
Start here. Our free California DUI Help Center walks you through the DMV hearing, your license, SR-22 and insurance, step by step.
Suspended license? Don’t drive to get your SR-22
Driving on a suspended license can bring new penalties and make your SR-22 more expensive. You don’t need to. Call (800) 726-0640 or buy online, and your certificate is emailed to you in minutes. If the Santa Monica office accepts faxes, we can fax it to the counter for you.
No car? A non-owner SR-22 is usually the cheapest way
Plenty of Westside drivers get around by Metro, bike, rideshare or a borrowed car. If you don’t own a car, a non-owner SR-22 meets the DMV’s requirement and usually costs less than a regular policy. It covers you when you occasionally borrow a car, but not a car you own or drive regularly.
