Louisiana SR22 FAQs
What is an SR22 in Louisiana?
It’s a certificate of financial responsibility your insurer files with the Louisiana OMV to confirm you carry required liability insurance.
Who needs an SR22 in Louisiana?
Drivers reinstating after violations like DUI, uninsured accidents, or license suspensions may be ordered to maintain an SR22 for a set period.
How long do I need to keep the SR22?
Terms vary by case and OMV direction… many drivers see multi-year requirements. Keep continuous coverage until OMV clears you.
Can I drive before the SR22 is on file?
No. You must be reinstated by OMV first. We e-file quickly so you can move to legal driving status.
I moved to Louisiana with an SR22 from another state… what now?
You may need a Louisiana filing. We coordinate with your current carrier or set a new policy to avoid lapses.
How does the SR22 filing process work in Louisiana?
We bind your policy, add the SR22 endorsement, and transmit to OMV electronically. You receive proof for court or employer needs.
How soon will OMV see my SR22?
Electronic filings are typically visible quickly… processing time can vary. We provide immediate digital ID cards for your records.
What happens if my policy cancels during the SR22 period?
Your insurer must notify OMV, which can trigger re-suspension. Stay active and on time with payments.
Can I get an SR22 if I don’t own a car?
Yes… a non-owner SR22 policy satisfies the filing while you drive borrowed or rented vehicles occasionally.
Do I need an ignition interlock for SR22?
Interlock requirements come from the court, not the insurance filing. We handle the insurance side and timing with OMV.
What’s the difference between owner and non-owner SR22?
Owner covers a specific vehicle you insure; non-owner covers you when driving a car you don’t own. We’ll guide the right fit.
Can I add SR22 to my current auto policy?
Often yes. If your carrier won’t add it, we can place a compatible policy and file immediately.
What if I sell my car while I still need SR22?
Switch to a non-owner SR22 to keep coverage continuous until OMV clears your requirement.
How high should my liability limits be?
You must meet at least Louisiana’s minimum liability requirements… many drivers choose higher limits for better protection.
Will SR22 change my coverage needs?
The filing itself doesn’t change coverage types, but it raises the stakes for staying active and avoiding lapses.
How much does the SR22 filing cost?
There’s a small filing fee plus your policy premium. We shop multiple companies to control total cost.
What factors affect price in Louisiana?
Driving record, age, garaging area (Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Shreveport, Lake Charles), vehicle, and coverage choices.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes… monthly plans are available. Paid-in-full can lower the overall cost.
Do discounts still apply with SR22?
Often yes—multi-policy, paid-in-full, safe-driver improvements over time, and more.
Will a defensive driving course help?
Sometimes. Results vary by carrier and violation type. Ask us to re-rate after course completion.
How fast can I get proof of insurance?
We send digital ID cards right away and file the SR22 to OMV electronically.
Can you send proof to a court, employer, or the OMV?
Yes. We coordinate documents where they’re needed… securely and quickly.
Do I need to carry the SR22 form in my vehicle?
No. Keep your insurance ID card. The SR22 itself is on file with OMV.
What info should I gather before quoting?
Use our simple Auto Quote Checklist to collect driver and vehicle details quickly.
Can you help if my license is still suspended?
We handle the insurance filing… you must also meet any court or OMV conditions to restore driving privileges.
What happens when my SR22 term ends?
Once OMV clears the requirement, we can remove the filing and keep a standard policy in place if you choose.
What if I move out of state during my SR22?
Keep a filing that satisfies Louisiana until OMV releases you. We’ll coordinate coverage so you remain compliant.
Does a crash or ticket reset my SR22 period?
Not typically… but new violations can affect rates or licensing. Follow your OMV instructions.
Can rideshare or delivery drivers carry SR22?
Yes, but you may need endorsements or commercial solutions depending on platform rules.
Where can I read general SR22 basics for multiple states?
See our overview here for filing concepts used nationwide, then follow Louisiana-specific OMV directions.

Comparison Guide
Owner vs Non-Owner SR22
Own a vehicle? Use owner SR22. No car? Non-owner keeps you compliant when borrowing or renting.
Add to Existing vs New Policy
Adding can be quickest… if your carrier won’t, a new policy with SR22 gets you filed right away.
Monthly vs Paid-in-Full
Monthly eases cash flow; paid-in-full can save overall and helps avoid accidental lapses.
State Minimum vs Higher Limits
Minimums meet legal needs; higher limits add protection for assets and serious claims.
