How to Get SR-22 Insurance Quickly After a License Suspension

In Ohio, obtaining an SR-22 is often a key step in reinstating your driving privileges after a suspension. Mitchell Brokerage Services, LLC can help you navigate this process efficiently.

What Is SR-22 Insurance and Why Is It Required?

An SR-22 is not an insurance policy itself, but a certificate your insurer files with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to prove you carry the state’s minimum required auto liability coverage. The state typically requires an SR-22 after certain violations, such as reckless driving, DUI or causing an accident while uninsured. The SR-22 serves as proof of financial responsibility and is necessary for reinstating your license after a suspension.

Steps to Get an SR-22

Take these steps to file an SR-22:

1. Contact an experienced insurance provider—Reach out to an insurance agency like ours that specializes in Ohio SR-22 filings. Not all insurers offer SR-22 services, so working with a knowledgeable team can save you time.
2. Provide required information—Share your driver’s license number, details about your suspension and any court or BMV documents. This can help us process your request without delays.
3. Purchase the appropriate policy—Ohio law requires you to purchase at least the minimum liability coverage. Our agents can help you obtain a suitable policy.
4. File the SR-22 form—Once your policy is active, we’ll file the SR-22 certificate electronically with the Ohio BMV. This is often completed within the same day.
5. Confirm reinstatement requirements—After filing, check with the BMV to make sure all other reinstatement steps are complete, such as paying fees or completing any required courses.
