SR-22 for Out-of-State Drivers

When a driver is convicted of certain traffic offenses, such as DWI, he or she is often considered a “high risk” driver. Drivers who are classified as high risk are typically required to file an SR-22 form with the DMV in their state.

This form is not actually insurance coverage. Instead, an SR-22 form is filed as proof that you are maintaining the minimum amount of insurance coverage mandated by the state. The SR-22 certificate can be complicated and expensive, so before you file, you should seek the advice and assistance of an Illinois auto insurance professional from Insure on the Spot.

Out-of-State Drivers and the Law

SR-22 requirements for the state of Illinois might not apply to you if you are a residence of another state. If you fulfill the necessary prerequisites of your own state, then the necessity for an Illinois SR-22 certificate might be waived. Different states have different regulations regarding how these rules translate, but if you have an approved, official affidavit from another state, then you may not have to file a separate SR-22 form in Illinois.

Though you may successfully fulfill all of the above requirements, your license might not be reinstated or may become invalid if you fail to meet any additional Illinois requirements. Additionally, there are always situations that may result in you having to file an SR-22 form in Illinois, so it is important that you consult with a professional about what regulations apply to you.
