What is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is not a type of insurance policy. It’s a certificate, also called a Certificate of Financial Responsibility, that your insurance company provides. It shows that you carry at least the liability coverage California requires.
People often call it “SR-22 insurance,” but what you really need is two things: a regular auto policy from a carrier that offers SR-22 insurance, and the SR-22 certificate that comes with it. We help you get SR-22 insurance from a carrier that offers it.
Who needs an SR-22 in California?
You may be required to show proof of insurance with an SR-22 after a serious driving problem, for example:
- A DUI conviction
- Driving without insurance, or an accident while uninsured
- Serious or repeated traffic violations
- A court order to show proof of insurance
The notice you received tells you whether you need an SR-22 and for how long. Not sure? Bring the letter in, or read it to us over the phone, and we’ll go over it with you.
How to get SR-22 insurance
Reach out
Call, walk in or send the form. Have your ID and the notice you received handy.
We compare carriers
We check several insurance companies that offer SR-22 insurance and show you the options.
Your policy starts
You choose the policy that fits your budget, and we set it up with the carrier.
Your SR-22 insurance is active
Your SR-22 insurance can be active the same day your policy is issued, and we give you a copy of your SR-22 for your records.
Keep it active
You usually need to keep an SR-22 in place for about three years, but your notice sets your exact period. If your policy is canceled or lapses, your insurance company is required to report it, so it is important to keep your coverage active. Questions about a payment or renewal? Call us before it lapses.

How much does SR-22 insurance cost?
It depends on why you need the SR-22, your driving record, your car, the coverage you choose and the insurance company. Some carriers also charge a small SR-22 fee. We can’t promise a price, but we compare several carriers and show you real quotes.
How long do I need an SR-22 in California?
Usually about three years, but the notice you received sets your exact period. Keep your policy active the whole time. If it lapses, your insurance company is required to report it.
How soon can I get SR-22 insurance?
Often the same day. We can help you get an SR-22 policy the same day from a carrier that offers it, and we give you a copy of your SR-22 for your records.
Can I get an SR-22 if I don’t own a car?
Often, yes. Many drivers in that situation use a non-owner policy. Ask us which carriers offer one.
What if I switch insurance companies?
Your new policy needs its own SR-22 in place before your old policy ends, so there’s no gap. We can help you coordinate the switch.
What should I bring?
Your ID, the notice saying you need an SR-22, information about your car if you have one, and your current policy if you have one.
Rates, coverage and approval are set by the insurance company. We can’t guarantee a price or approval, but we will compare the options available to you.
