What Is SR22 Insurance & Why You Need It

SR22 is a certificate of financial responsibility required by the state for certain violations. We make the process simple and affordable.

SR22 Insurance Explained

An SR22 (or SR-22) isn\'t actually insurance - it\'s a form filed by your insurance company with the New Jersey DMV to prove you have the required liability coverage.

Think of it as a guarantee to the state that you\'ll maintain continuous auto insurance for a specified period, typically three years.

If your coverage lapses, your insurer must notify the DMV, resulting in immediate license suspension. That\'s why continuous coverage is critical.

How long do I need SR22 insurance in NJ?

Can I get SR22 insurance without a car?

Yes, you can get non-owner SR22 insurance if you don't own a vehicle but need to maintain your license. This covers you when driving borrowed or rented vehicles and satisfies SR22 requirements at a lower cost than standard policies.

What happens if I let my SR22 insurance lapse?

If your SR22 insurance lapses, your insurer must notify the DMV, resulting in immediate license suspension. You'll need to restart the SR22 filing period from the beginning, potentially adding years to your requirement. Always maintain continuous coverage.

Will SR22 affect my insurance rates forever?

No, SR22 won't affect your rates forever. Once you complete your required SR22 period and the violation ages (typically 3-5 years), your rates will decrease. Maintaining clean driving during this time helps reduce rates faster.

Can I remove SR22 before the required period?

Generally no, you cannot remove SR22 before completing the court-ordered period. Early removal requires court approval, which is rare. Focus on maintaining continuous coverage to complete your requirement as scheduled.
