When it comes to DUI laws and sr22 car insurance, state laws vary. So you are not automatically required to get SR22 car insurance if you get convicted of DUI.
However, most states would require an individual to get an SR22 car insurance after DUI as part of the penalties. An SR22 is also required to reinstate your license after suspension. So if you had a DUI suspension you are required to file the SR-22 car insurance as part of the reinstatement process.
Also, not all states require an SR22 car insurance. States that do not require SR22 car insurance are the following:
- Delaware
- Kentucky
- Minnesota
- New Mexico
- Oklahoma
- Pennsylvania
- New York
- North Carolina
Not all insurance providers offer SR22 filings so drivers convicted of DUI sometimes find it hard to find an insurer that will file SR22 insurance for them.
If you have been convicted with DUI and you want to know if you need to get SR22 car insurance, I would suggest that you contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to find out.
