What Is an SR-22?
In Illinois, financial responsibility insurance (SR-22) is required for “problem drivers” to help monitor their insurance. The Secretary of State’s office is authorized to suspend a driver’s license upon cancellation or expiration of an SR-22.
Under Illinois law, individuals with the following may be required to obtain an SR-22:
-
Safety responsibility suspensions
-
Unsatisfied judgment suspensions
-
License revocations
-
Mandatory insurance supervisions
-
Three or more convictions for mandatory insurance violations
How Much Is Insurance After You’ve Been Required to File an SR-22?
If you have moving violations or have been convicted of a serious driving offense, you may pay more for car insurance. As such, you may pay more for auto insurance if you also have been required to file an SR-22 in Illinois. The best way to understand the cost of an auto insurance policy that meets the state’s minimum liability requirements is to get a personalized quote. It’s important to work with an agent that can help you shop around.
What Does SR-22 Insurance Cover?
SR-22 isn’t a type of insurance; rather, it’s a form you file with the state to prove that your auto insurance policy meets the minimum liability requirements. You can choose to purchase any amount of auto insurance over the minimum liability requirements and ask your insurance company to file the form on your behalf.
If you must file SR-22, you can still get full coverage auto insurance, as required by lienholders if you have a loan or lease on your vehicle.
How Do I Get an SR-22?
To get an SR-22, you need to contact an insurance company authorized by the state to write SR-22 policies. Hanway Insurance is authorized by the state of Illinois to write SR-22 policies, and our agents are ready to help you. Typically, an SR-22 certificate is issued in one of three forms, depending on whether you’re an owner, operator or owner-operator of a vehicle.
After a Hanway Insurance agent helps you select a policy and you have made a payment, our agency will submit the request for a certificate to the Illinois Secretary of State. It may take up to 30 days for processing, and you will receive a copy of the certificate from Hanway Insurance, as well as a letter from the Secretary of State’s office. You must hold this insurance for three years. If it expires or is canceled, Hanway Insurance must notify the state and your driving record will be suspended by the state until the insurance filing has been reinstated.
