What's the Difference Between an FR44 and SR22 Filing in Virginia?
  • Both the FR44 and SR22 filing function the same way. The only difference is that an SR22 filing requires at least state minimum liability coverage, and the FR44 filing requires double the state minimum liability coverage. Other than that, they pretty much function the same.
  • FR44 filings tend to be ordered for those charged with DUI or some type of criminal charge. SR22 filings tend to be ordered for lesser violations.
  •   Both the SR22 and FR44 are simply a guarantee to the Virginia DMV that you're driving with the required auto insurance. If you cancel the policy, the insurance company is required by law to notify the DMV, and your license gets suspended once again.


How long do I have to carry the SR22/FR44?
  • Generally, the Virginia DMV requires a filing for 3 or 4 years, depending on the circumstances. You will want to make sure that you know when your filing requirement expires.
  • Cancelling a filing too late will cause you to pay extra premium that isn't necessary.
  • Cancelling a filing too early will cause your license to be suspended.
How do I set up an SR22/FR44 filing?
  • If you own a vehicle, you simply have to attach the filing to an auto insurance policy.
  • If you do not own a vehicle, you will need a named operators policy with the filing attached. In either case, it is very simple to set up and get rolling.
How do I get the best price on an SR22 of FR44 filing?
    The best way to find an affordable rate is to find an independent agent that carries several sr22/fr44 friendly companies. Many insurance companies are NOT SR22/FR44 friendly. So finding an agent who carries the "higher risk" companies is the key.
    My agency carries several of the leading SR22/FR44 companies. If you would like to get a fast online quote, I will run the quote for you and find you the company with the lowest rate. And as always, I handle all quotes personally and privately. To get started, click one of the links below.

It's interesting to know that FR44 insurance and SR22 insurance function in the same way. I think I'll get FR44 insurance from a good company since I was charged with DUI recently. Since the filing is required for 3 or 4 years, I know that it will not affect my job in any way.
