File SR22 Online

Reader’s Question:

I’d like to know what is an SR22 Filing and what does it mean when I am in California. Can SR22 Filing reinstate my California driver’s license? I was convicted with DUI in Bakersfield.

Hi there, Joanne.

How are you doing today, Joanne?
SR22 Filing is a form issued by an insurance company which removes a suspension order placed by the DMV on your driving privilege in California. A driver’s license is a privilege to drive which is issued by the government. This means that the state can take it back if you violate any of its rules and regulations on the road. Your license can be suspended for any road and traffic violations like DUI, reckless driving, driving without insurance, and many others.

In California, the filing provides a guarantee to the Department of Motor Vehicles that an insurance company has issued at least minimum liability coverage for you who made that filing. It is also with the SR22 Filing that the insurance company will notify the DMV should the insurance ever lapse for any reason. Remember that you cannot get an SR22 filing without buying insurance because an SR22 filing is evidence of liability insurance in force.

There are many major insurance companies online that actively write SR22 filing insurance. I suggest that you do not just get a quote from one company so that you will be able to compare prices. Simply get the most affordable solution and one company that can issue the SR filing same day upon receipt of signed applications. SR22 applications can be faxed and paid by credit card. If you need it, there are companies that can overnight the filing to you for a small overnight fee. So get on and shop online because these companies are just waiting for you to ask them to help you.
