How SR-22 works in Sacramento
An SR-22 isn't a type of insurance. It's a form your insurance company files with the California DMV to prove you carry at least the state minimum coverage. Drivers usually need one after a DUI, a license suspension, or getting caught driving uninsured, and after a DUI California requires it for 3 years.
- Your insurance company files the SR-22 with the DMV for you
- Keep the policy active the whole time. If it lapses, the insurer tells the DMV and your license can be suspended again

California minimum car insurance

No car? Non-owner SR-22 in Sacramento
If you don't own a car but need an SR-22 to get your license back, a non-owner policy is often the simplest way to meet the requirement. It covers your liability when you drive a car you don't own. Ask the agent whether it fits your situation.
