SR-22 Insurance After a Washington DUI

What is an SR-22?

PROOF OF INSURANCE

An SR-22 is not a type of insurance policy. It is a certificate your insurance company files with the Department of Licensing to prove you carry the required liability coverage.

When an SR-22 is required

After a DUI-related suspension or revocation, the DOL generally requires an SR-22 before your license can be reinstated, and you must keep it in place for a set period — commonly three years.

If the policy lapses, your insurer notifies the DOL and your license can be suspended again.

WHAT TO KNOW

Keeping your SR-22 in good standing

Not every insurance company offers SR-22 filings, and premiums often increase after a DUI. Comparing options can help.

The most important rule is simple: do not let the policy lapse while the SR-22 is required.

A lapse in SR-22 coverage can lead to a new license suspension.
