Reader’s Question:

How long do I have to carry an SR-22 insurance in El Cajon California, for a DUI conviction?

El Cajon, CA

After a DUI conviction normally in California one must file and carry an SR-22 for a period of three years. The amount of time the El Cajon California SR22 must be maintained by a driver may vary depending upon their conviction and if there were other issues surrounding in the case, such as driving uninsured.

If you are required to carry an SR22 insurance due to a DUI in CA you may contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles to know exactly how long you are required to maintain it.

If you had been convicted of driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (DUI) you would have to go through the following steps to have license reinstated:

• Complete a mandatory suspension period.
• Pay to DMV a reissue fee .
• File Proof of Financial Responsibility SR 22
• File a Notice of Completion Certificate (DL 101)
• Pay fines to the court.
