What is SR‑22 Insurance?

An SR‑22 is not a type of insurance—it’s a state-required certificate your insurer files with the Idaho Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to prove you carry the required liability coverage.


You might need an SR‑22 if:

  • You’ve been convicted of a DUI or DWI
  • You were caught driving without insurance
  • You caused an accident while uninsured
  • Your license was suspended or revoked
  • You have multiple traffic violations in a short time

Risk Factors to Consider

If you’re required to file an SR‑22, here are a few important factors to keep in mind:

  • Lapse in coverage = restart
    If your policy lapses or cancels, your SR‑22 filing becomes invalid—and your license may be re-suspended.
  • Minimum required limits apply
    Idaho requires minimum liability limits with all SR‑22 filings. We’ll make sure your policy meets those requirements.
  • SR‑22 isn’t forever
    Most drivers need to carry SR‑22 insurance for 1–3 years, depending on the offense.
  • Not all carriers offer SR‑22s
    As an independent agency, we’ll find you a company that does—and at a fair rate.
