Does Rochester use the SR-22?
- Your insurance company reports your New York coverage to the DMV electronically. Paper cards and emails don't count
- If your coverage ends, turn in your plates or replace it right away. A lapse suspends your registration, and a lapse of 91 days or more suspends your license too
- Need an SR-22 for another state? A licensed agent can tell you which companies can file it there

Rochester insurance questions
Do I need an SR-22 in Rochester?
No. New York doesn't use it. Your insurance company reports your coverage to the DMV electronically, so there's no SR-22 to file. If another state needs one from you, a licensed agent can help.
Can I get car insurance in Rochester if I don't own a car?
Often, yes. New York law recognizes an operator's (non-owner) policy, which covers you when you drive a car you don't own. Not every company sells one, so a licensed agent can check for you.
