The SR-22 Process in California — What to Expect
If you have been told you need an SR-22 in California, here is a clear breakdown of how the process works and what you need to know to stay compliant.
What an SR-22 Actually Is
An SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurance carrier files with the DMV on your behalf. It is not a separate type of insurance — it is a filing attached to an insurance policy that proves you carry the state-required minimum liability coverage: $30,000 per person for bodily injury, $60,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $15,000 per accident for property damage.
How Long You Need to Maintain Your SR-22
You will need to maintain your SR-22 continuously for the duration the DMV requires, which is typically a minimum of three years from the date your license is reinstated. The clock starts when you reinstate — not when you receive the SR-22 requirement or when the SR-22 is filed. There may also be a fixed suspension period before you are eligible to reinstate.
What Happens If Your SR-22 Lapses
If your policy cancels or lapses during the required period, your carrier must notify the DMV by filing an SR-26. This can result in your license being suspended again, and you will need to get a new SR-22 in place before you can reinstate. Avoiding a lapse is one of the most important things you can do during your SR-22 period.
Full Auto SR-22 vs. Non-Owner SR-22
The type of SR-22 policy you need depends on whether you own a vehicle.
If You Own a Vehicle
The SR-22 filing gets attached to your auto insurance policy. Your policy must meet California’s minimum liability requirements, and the SR-22 remains attached for the full duration the DMV requires.
If You Do Not Own a Vehicle
You can purchase a non-owner SR-22 policy, which meets the state minimum liability requirements and allows you to reinstate your license. Non-owner policies are typically less expensive, but they have limitations — they do not cover a vehicle you own, a vehicle owned by or kept at your household, a vehicle you drive regularly, or a vehicle used for business. They provide liability coverage when you occasionally borrow someone else’s car.
Converting a Non-Owner Policy Later
If your situation changes and you purchase a vehicle, you can usually convert your non-owner policy to a full auto policy without starting over. Call MIS Insurance whenever your circumstances change, and we will update your coverage to keep you compliant.
How Long Will You Need an SR-22 in Los Angeles County?
The duration of your SR-22 requirement depends on your specific case.
Factors That Affect Your SR-22 Duration
- Whether this is your first offense or a repeat violation
- Your blood alcohol level at the time of a DUI
- Whether anyone was injured in an accident
- Whether you were under 21 at the time of the violation
- Whether you have completed all required courses and conditions
- Whether an interlock device was required
Confirming Your SR-22 End Date
Before removing your SR-22, always confirm the end date with the DMV Mandatory Actions Unit at 916-657-6525 or by requesting your driving record through the DMV website. Removing your SR-22 too early can trigger a new suspension, which means starting the process over.
