Your letter
Using an SR-22 to get your license back in Irvine
If you are in Irvine trying to get a California license back, the California DMV often will not lift the hold until an SR-22 is on file. That certificate is one box on the notice — fees and anything the court listed still sit there. Do not drive until you know what the letter requires. Call (866) 778-1093 first. We start California filings by phone. California’s official financial-responsibility overview is on the DMV page we link. Your letter still names the form and the end date. See License reinstatement.

The letter is the instruction. We help you get the insurance proof on file. Court, treatment, and California fees on that same notice stay yours.
