Newport SR-22 questions
Where do I file an SR-22 in Newport?
You don't. Rhode Island's DMV no longer requires SR-22 filings, so there's nothing to file for Rhode Island and no office to visit for one. If another state told you to file an SR-22, ask that state's DMV or a licensed agent.
Can I get car insurance in Newport if I don't own a car?
Yes. Rhode Island law recognizes an operator's (non-owner) policy, which covers you when you drive a car you don't own. A licensed agent can quote one today.
