Understanding what a SR-22 IIllinois form is.

A SR-22 Illinois form is not an insurance policy.
It’s simply a financial responsibility form proving that you have
insurance coverage. The SR-22 is filed with your state by your insurance
company and certifies that you carry the minimum liability coverage on
your car insurance policy.

SR-22 for drivers that do not own a vehicle can be filed with a “non-owners” policy.

If you do not own a motor vehicle, you can purchase
“non-owners” liability coverage. This policy provides liability to a vehicle you drive that you do not own. “Non-owners” policies typically are discounted. However, if you purchase a vehicle you must endorse your non-owners policy to an auto policy to remain covered and legal to drive.
The SR-22 must be submitted from
an insurance company licensed in the state for which the SR-22 is required. In addition, has the authority or “power of attorney” to issue an SR-22.
Our office
maintains a listing of authorized companies.

Who needs a SR-22?

An SR-22 requirement can be issued by the Secretary of State based on a judgement in a county court. Depending on the state you live inSR-22’s are usually required for
12-36 months. Some states require these to be consecutive months. In other words, if you are late on a payment you have to start the SR-22 all over. SR22, also known as high risk auto insurance, could be required of drivers for several different reasons. A list of the main reasons are:
1.Being behind on child support
2.Driving under the influence (DUI)
3.Unsatisfied Judgement Suspensions
4.Having an at-fault accident while driving uninsured
5.Multiple moving violations or tickets within 12 months
6.Being behind on Traffic Citation Payments
7.Driving uninsured
8.Other major moving violations, such as reckless driving
9.Driving with a suspended or revoked license

Keeping a SR-22 Active is the KEY

Lapsing your policy or not paying the payment on time will suspend your license. Some Insurance King clients opt to pay the 6-12 months of insurance premium in full to avoid suspensions. Other clients opt to pay 30 days in advance. However, you choose to pay, just pay before the payment is due to the insurance company. This helps to avoid being arrested for driving uninsured. What if you are ever unsure if your policy is active? You should contact your Secretary of State or Insurance King.
