How the filing moves forward
- Read the notice and identify the required certificate.
- Review ownership, coverage, and underwriting details.
- Confirm submission and ask DMV what remains.
What the certificate means
An SR-22 is an insurer-filed financial-responsibility certificate, not a standalone policy. Some cases require FR-44, so follow the actual DMV record.
Who may need it
Uninsured-vehicle issues, certain suspensions, and other financial-responsibility cases can trigger a filing. The reason determines the requirement.
Four policy paths
- Owner coverage for an eligible vehicle owner.
- Operator or non-owner coverage for some drivers without a car.
- FR-44 coverage where required.
- Filing through an eligible existing policy, if supported.
What it costs
There is no universal price. Underwriting, vehicle, record, location, limits, and payment plan can affect cost. Separate government fees may apply.
Virginia liability minimums
For policies effective from January 1, 2025, standard minimums are $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 property damage. Filing-specific rules may differ; FR-44 limits are higher.
| Coverage | Minimum |
