California DMV proof of financial responsibility

Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and Sacramento use the form on your DMV letter. Official overview: California DMV — financial responsibility.

Who needs the filing

Why DMV asked you for an SR-22

Alcohol-related letter

The SR-22 does not replace court, interlock, or treatment. After a DUI.

Lapse or no insurance

A stop or crash with no policy on the car.

Out-of-state now

Tell us both places. We file the state on the letter.

The process

How a California SR-22 gets filed

Have the DMV letter visible. We quote a carrier that will file California.

(866) 778-1093. SR-22 or FR-44 — read it off the page.

02

DUI details

Date on the notice, license number, owner or not.

03

Fee and premium. A DUI record is not a clean-record price.

The DMV or BMV gets the certificate from the carrier.

05

Do not lapse

Ask us to remove the SR-22 when the letter’s term ends.
