Reader’s Question:
I was required to get an SR22 insurance because of my DUI conviction here in California. Do I need to get it from another company or will my current auto insurance provider have that for me?

You would have to get an SR22 insurance because of your DUI conviction in California. This is a form that would be a proof of your financial responsibility and this says that you have the right amount of insurance that the state of California orders you to have. Your auto insurance provider could file the SR22 insurance for you but make sure that you check with them for their standard procedure. In case they don’t offer SR22, you can always get it from someone who offers it and you can find it from this website so get a free quote now.
You may have to maintain the SR22 for a number of years, depending on your specific case. The length of time an SR22 stays active would depend on your state and the details of your DUI. Getting an SR22 would often make you in the higher risk category for auto insurance providers and that means that your premiums could increase and stay higher for a number of years after you got your DUI. It is not the end of the world after your DUI but you have to pay for it for at least a few years- especially if it is with regard to your auto insurance.
