SR22 California

SR22 California

Arrested for driving while intoxicated in California? You must complete an SR-22 form (also known as a California Insurance Proof Certificate) to prove you have enough liability insurance coverage. The SR-22 is a DMV form similar to the SR-1 form used in the case of an auto accident, except the SR-22 form is intended for people who get a DUI.

The DUI consequences in California are severe and getting more serious every year. You will likely receive a suspended drivers license for at least six months for your first DUI and two years or more for additional DUI offenses. SR22 insurance is an insurance policy required for high-risk drivers to reinstate a revoked or suspended drivers license in the Golden State. A three year policy is usually required; however, SR22 insurance policies in California can go up to five years, depending on the violation.

DUI Consequences

When issuing you your SR22 insurance policy, the insurer provides a certificate which guarantees the California Department of Motor Vehicles that you have met the required minimums of liability coverage for California. If you do not maintain your policy or cancel it, the California DMV will immediately suspend your drivers license. Worse, you could go to jail and face thousands of dollars in fines.
