Why SR-22s lapse
- A missed payment canceled the policy
- The policy was switched or canceled before a new SR-22 was in place
- The policy wasn’t renewed at the end of the term
When any of these happen, the insurance company files an SR-26 to tell the DMV, and the DMV suspends your license again.

Questions we hear from people at this DMV
What is an SR-26?
It’s the form an insurance company files to tell the DMV your SR-22 policy ended. The DMV then suspends your license until a new SR-22 is filed.
Does a lapse restart my 3-year SR-22 requirement?
It can. Ask the DMV for your new end date after your new SR-22 is on file.
Can I get a new SR-22 the same day?
Yes. We file it electronically when you buy and email your certificate in minutes.
