What is SR22 Insurance?
If your driver’s license or vehicle plates get suspended or revoked due to a traffic violation, the state of Illinois requires you to purchase SR22 Financial Responsibility insurance. The name SR22 comes from the form insurance companies submit to the Secretary of State. Once your SR22 has been submitted, your driver’s license or plates will be eligable for reinstatement.
The SR22 Certificate may be in the form of an owner’s certificate, a non-owner/operator’s certificate, or an owner/operator’s certificate.
