What Does an SR-22 Look Like?
The SR-22 is a short certificate, usually one page. States format it differently, but most include the same core information.
Fields you'll usually see
- Insurer details: the company name and its code with the state
- Your details: your name, address, date of birth and license number
- Policy number and effective date
- Type of certification: boxes for owner's, operator's (non-owner) or owner-operator
- Filing type: original, or a reinstatement after a lapse
The non-owner box
On a non-owner policy, the insurer checks the operator's certification. That tells the state you're covered as a driver, not for a specific vehicle.
Getting a copy
Ask your insurer to email you a copy once it's filed. Most states receive the official filing electronically, so you normally don't deliver it yourself.
Can I fill out an SR-22 myself?
No. Only a licensed insurer can complete and file it.
