SR-22 by State

SR-22 rules are set state by state, and the differences are bigger than most drivers expect. Some states require an SR-22 after a DUI or an uninsured violation. Florida and Virginia use the higher-limit FR-44 for certain DUI offenses. Others, such as New York and Pennsylvania, use different mechanisms or do not use the SR-22 form at all. Because the terms vary, a general article about SR-22 can mislead you about your own state. These guides are written to answer the state-specific questions first.Every state guide follows the same structure so you can compare. It states whether the state uses SR-22, FR-44 or something else, what the minimum liability limits are, how long the requirement lasts, what the filing fee and typical cost range look like, and which official source supports each figure. When two sources disagree, we show both and say where each comes from instead of averaging them.Start with the state you live in. We currently cover Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. If your state is not listed yet, begin with What Is SR-22 Insurance and SR-22 vs. FR-44, then confirm the details with your state motor vehicle agency.
