If you’ve been told you need an SR-22 in Virginia, don’t panic. It may sound complicated—but it’s just a form that proves you carry the state’s minimum required car insurance. At Brett J. Allen Insurance Agency, we specialize in fast, affordable SR-22 filings to get you back on the road—legally and confidently.
What Is an SR-22 in Virginia?
An SR-22 is not an insurance policy—it’s a certificate of financial responsibility. Virginia DMV requires it after certain driving offenses to verify that you maintain at least:
-
$50,000 bodily injury liability per person
-
$100,000 bodily injury per accident
-
$25,000 property damage per accident
This is commonly known as 50/100/25 coverage. Your insurer files the SR-22 with the Virginia DMV on your behalf.
Who Needs an SR-22 in Virginia?
You may be required to file an SR-22 if you’ve:
-
Been caught driving without insurance
-
Had your license suspended or revoked
-
Been involved in an at-fault accident while uninsured
-
Accumulated excessive points on your license
-
Failed to pay fines, judgments, or child support
-
Had multiple traffic violations or reckless driving charges
Once required, you’ll typically need to maintain continuous coverage for three years. If your policy lapses, the DMV is notified, and your license may be suspended again.
What’s the Difference Between SR-22 and FR-44 in Virginia?
FR-44 is a more severe version of SR-22—required only in Virginia and Florida—and it applies primarily to DUI/DWI-related convictions.
If you’ve been told you need an FR-44 filing in Virginia, we handle those too—and shop the best rates, even with a DUI on your record.
