What Is SR-22 Insurance in California?
An SR-22 is not actually a type of insurance - it's a certificate that your insurance company files with the California DMV to prove you have active liability coverage. Think of it as the DMV requiring your insurer to vouch for you after a serious violation.
If your coverage lapses, your insurance company must notify the DMV immediately, which will result in license suspension. That's why maintaining continuous coverage is critical.

⚠️ Don't Let Your SR-22 Lapse
