Do I need an SR22 or FR44?
Generally speaking, people whose license is under suspension for a DUI / DWI / OVWI by the Department of Motor vehicles need an SR22 Filing to reinstate their license. You may have been instructed by the court or DMV to obtain a financial responsibility filing. You may need an SR22 or FR44 even if your license is currently active to keep it from being suspended.
There are other reasons that someone may need a financial responsibility filing, these include, but are not limited to, driving without insurance, being in an accident without insurance, suspensions, unpaid fines, or failure to comply with a variety of other rules, laws, and regulations.
