SR-22 Insurance Forms

What is an SR-22 form?

An SR-22 is a type of insurance document that proves that a driver has auto liability insurance. A person needs an SR-22 to regain driving privileges after conviction in a traffic accident or other offense like DUI if the person did not have adequate insurance when the accident or offense occurred.

The SR-22 isn’t a type of insurance itself, but is instead a document that demonstrates whether or not a person has proper insurance in place and is financially responsible in the event of another incident. The court orders an uninsured driver to obtain this document after a conviction before he or she may regain a driver’s license.
