Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Most states require you to maintain continuous liability insurance even during suspension, especially if you own a vehicle. 38 states will extend your suspension or add penalties if insurance lapses. If you don't own a car, a non-owner policy satisfies the requirement in most states.

What is SR-22 and do I need it?

SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with the state proving you carry minimum liability coverage. You need it after DUI, suspension for points, uninsured accidents, or serious violations in 49 states. Filing lasts 3 years in most states, measured from the violation date.

What happens if I let my policy lapse during SR-22?

Your insurer notifies the state immediately. Most states restart your SR-22 clock from zero, add 6–12 months to your suspension, and require a new reinstatement fee. Some states issue a bench warrant if the lapse exceeds 30 days.

Can I get a hardship license during suspension?

42 states offer hardship, restricted, or occupational licenses allowing limited driving to work, school, or medical appointments during suspension. Requirements vary: most require proof of insurance, SR-22 filing, and a documented need. Approval takes 2–6 weeks.
