Guides

Five pages covering the parts of this that are the same everywhere, and the parts that are not. Everything here is read from a state statute and dated; where something could not be read, the page says so rather than estimating it.

• What an SR-22 actually isA notification instrument, not a policy. Who files it, what it certifies, what a lapse does.
• How long you have to keep the filingFour states, four different clocks — and one of them is a look-back, not a countdown.
• SR-22 vs FR-44Florida and Virginia use a second form after a DUI, at much higher limits.
• Filing without a carHow a non-owner policy carries the certificate, and the household-vehicle gap that voids it.
• Minimum limits comparedSeven states, each figure read from the statute and tagged with its effective date.

Then the state pages

Once you know which certificate applies to you, the numbers are state business: SR-22 by state and ignition interlock by state.
