What is an SR-22 Filing

SR-22 (or SR22) is actually the name of the form used by insurance companies to notify the state that an insured has the required insurance coverage. People will sometime refer this car insurance as SR-22, SR Filing, or sometimes as just “filing” insurance. While car insurance is mandatory in Illinois, most drivers are not required to purchase SR22 insurance. However, if you are required to file an SR22 then an auto insurance company must submit the form in order to remove a suspension order placed by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office on your driving privileges. The reason for the filing is to provide a certification to the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles that your auto insurance company has issued a policy of at least the required minimum liability coverage, and that your auto insurance company will notify the Illinois Secretary of State should the car insurance ever lapse for any reason.
