Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Yes, in most states. Most DMVs require continuous liability coverage or an SR-22 filing as a condition of reinstatement, even if you're not currently driving. Letting coverage lapse during suspension can extend your filing period or delay reinstatement.

What is an SR-22 and when is it required?

An SR-22 is a state-mandated certificate your insurer files with the DMV proving you carry at least minimum liability coverage. States require SR-22 filing after DUI convictions, at-fault accidents without insurance, excessive points, or repeated violations. Filing periods typically last 3 years.

How long does SR-22 filing last?

Most states require 3 years of continuous SR-22 filing from the conviction or suspension date. California and Florida require 3 years; Virginia requires 3–5 years depending on the violation. Any lapse in coverage restarts the clock in most states.

What is a hardship license?

A hardship or restricted license allows limited driving during suspension, typically for work, school, medical appointments, or court-ordered obligations. Eligibility, waiting periods, and permitted routes vary by state; most require SR-22 filing and proof of financial responsibility before approval.

Will my insurance company cancel me if my license is suspended?

Not automatically. Many carriers allow you to maintain coverage during suspension, especially if you're required to file an SR-22 or need a non-owner policy for reinstatement. Some non-standard carriers specialize in suspended-license policies.
