# SR-22

> What an SR-22 is, how the certificate proves you carry state-required auto liability insurance after a DUI or serious violation, and how long to file one.

An **SR-22** is not insurance — it is a certificate your insurer files with the state confirming you carry required minimum coverage. States often require it after DUI, serious violations, or license suspension.

SR-22 filings usually stay on your record for several years and can raise rates significantly.
