SR-22 in Indianapolis, IN

Who Needs an SR-22?

An SR-22 is typically required after serious driving infractions, such as DUI convictions, driving without insurance, reckless driving or accumulating multiple violations in a short period. A court or your local DMV will let you know if it’s necessary.

How Do I Obtain an SR-22?

If you already have an auto insurance policy, contact your insurer and let them know you need an SR-22. They’ll review your coverage and file the form with your state’s DMV. If you don’t have insurance, you’ll need to purchase a policy first. Not all companies offer SR-22 filings, so make sure to ask upfront. Once filed, the SR-22 stays active as long as your policy does, so keeping your insurance current is important.

Is There a Filing Fee?

There’s usually a small fee involved. Most states charge a one-time filing fee when the SR-22 is submitted. It’s not included in your regular premium, and the amount can vary depending on your location and insurer. If more than one person on your policy needs an SR-22, the fee may be charged for each filing.

Can I Get an SR-22 If I Don’t Own a Car?

If you don’t own a vehicle but still need to meet the SR-22 requirement, you can get a non-owner policy. This type of coverage may provide liability protection when you drive someone else’s car. It satisfies the state’s requirement without being tied to a specific vehicle.
