SR-22 after a DUI letter in Palatine
If you are in Palatine holding a Illinois letter after a DUI or an alcohol-related stop, the SR-22 is the insurance piece — not the court case, not the interlock, and not the fine. An authorized insurer files a certificate with the Illinois Secretary of State to show you carry the required liability. Call (866) 778-1093 with the letter in front of you. We will read the form name together (SR-22 or FR-44) and quote a policy that can actually be filed. Chicago-area and downstate letters are still Illinois filings. The letter names the dates. More on After a DUI.

Who needs the filing
Why people in Palatine call
You were uninsured
A stop or a crash with no liability policy on the car is a common reason the letter arrives.
Your license is still down
Reinstatement often waits until the certificate is on file.
The reason is on the letter
Your premium follows that reason — a DUI quote is not a clean-record quote.
You sold the car after
A non-owner policy can still carry the filing on your license.
