An SR-22 or “safety responsibility,” Some state’s require an FR-44 (financial responsibility) People are required to carry their SR-22 for a period that varies from state to state, but is usually from three to five years (depending on the violation and state) Why would I need an SR-22? In most states there are several serious citations whose punishment requires drivers to file a form which shows that they are financially responsible for their vehicles. A few of these violations are: • DUI/ DWI • Driving without a license • An “at-fault” • reckless driving Most states require an SR-22 or FR-44 form after any of the above violations to show them that you can afford insurance, and hence are responsible enough to be a licensed driver in that state. In order to get you back on track to your driving-freedom, we will file the SR-22 for you, and we can insure your vehicles to prevent you from being in the same situation again. After we file your SR-22: The SR-22 only declares financial responsibility of a licensed-driver, it is still the driver’s responsibility to maintain insurance coverage of their vehicles during the SR-22 period. Basically you must make sure your car is insured for the entire period covered by the SR-22, but it’s ok-we can help with that too. SkyBlue Insurance Agency 1-800-771-7758 If you fail to keep your car insured, your SR-22 issuer is required to notify the DMV, and your license will be suspended. What happens when my SR-22 is going to expire? Once our customers are nearing the end of their SR-22 period, we will file a separate form (SR-26) with the DMV to inform them of your commitment to safety and responsibility, and your status as SR-22 is removed. Specifics: Some states do not require SR-22s. These states are as follows: Delaware, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. If you receive a serious ticket for one of the aforementioned offenses in those states, you are not required to file an SR-22. State’s that DO require the form however, also require you to keep it up to date even if you move away. In other words, you can get a DUI in North Carolina, and move to South Carolina to avoid filing an SR-22 (with specific exceptions), but if you do the opposite (get a DUI in South Carolina) you would be required to maintain your SR-22 status in SC even if you move to NC.
