Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Yes, if you want to reinstate it. Missouri requires continuous proof of insurance during the reinstatement process, even while your license is suspended. If you don't own a vehicle, a non-owner SR-22 policy satisfies this requirement.

How long does SR-22 filing last in Missouri?

Missouri requires SR-22 filing for 2 years after most DUI convictions and qualifying suspensions. The clock starts on the date the state receives the filing, not the conviction date. Your carrier must maintain continuous filing for the full period.

What happens if I let my SR-22 lapse?

Your carrier notifies the Missouri Department of Revenue within 10 days of cancellation. The state suspends your license again immediately and restarts the 2-year filing period from zero when you file again.

Do all insurance companies file SR-22 in Missouri?

No. Many standard carriers like State Farm and Allstate don't offer SR-22 policies to high-risk drivers. Non-standard carriers like The General, Direct Auto, and Bristol West specialize in SR-22 filings and suspended driver coverage.
