How SR22 works in Idaho
- Quote and policy: We find a policy that meets Idaho’s liability requirements for your situation… owner or non owner.
- We file the SR22: Your insurer sends the SR22 form to the state, confirming active coverage.
- Reinstate: After state processing and any fees you owe the DMV, your driving privileges can be reinstated.
- Keep it active: Maintain continuous coverage until your SR22 period ends to avoid a new suspension.
What you need to file
- Full name, date of birth, and Idaho driver license number.
- Current address and contact info.
- Vehicle details if you own a car… or request non owner if you do not.
- Any court or DMV documents with deadlines or case numbers.
Costs and discounts
There are two cost parts: the policy premium and a small filing fee charged by the carrier. Your price depends on factors like violation type, time since incident, age, garaging ZIP, and coverage limits. Ask about discounts for safe driving history since your incident, paying in full, bundling a homeowners or renters policy, telematics, and paperless billing.

We can file the SR22 and help you with reinstatement steps… often the same day.
Owner vs non owner SR22
Owner SR22: For drivers who own a vehicle and need liability coverage tied to that car. Non owner SR22: For drivers who do not own a vehicle but need license reinstatement to drive occasionally on vehicles they do not own. We help you decide which setup fits your situation… and switch later if life changes.

FAQs
Basics
What is SR22 insurance in Idaho?
SR22 is a filing from your insurer to the state showing you carry at least the required liability coverage. It is proof of financial responsibility… not a separate kind of policy.
Who needs an SR22 in Idaho?
Common reasons include a DUI, driving without insurance, serious moving violations, or license suspensions that require proof of insurance to reinstate.
Is SR22 a policy or a filing?
It is a filing attached to your auto policy or to a non owner policy if you do not own a car.
How long do I need an SR22 in Idaho?
Many drivers need it for a set period determined by the state or court. Keep continuous coverage until your term ends to avoid a new suspension.
Can I switch insurance companies while I have an SR22?
Yes. We coordinate the new filing so there is no lapse between insurers.
What happens if my SR22 policy lapses?
Your insurer notifies the state, which can trigger a license suspension. Call us before you cancel or miss a payment so we can help.
Filing & DMV
How do you file an SR22 with the Idaho DMV?
After your policy is active, we send the SR22 electronically to the state. You handle any DMV fees or reinstatement steps required.

Do I have to visit the DMV to reinstate my license?
Many steps are handled online, but requirements vary by case. We will outline the exact steps after we review your documents.
What documents do I need to start an SR22?
Driver license number, address, date of birth, incident details, and vehicle info if you own a car. Our quote checklist helps you prepare fast.
Costs & Payments
How much does SR22 insurance cost in Idaho?
Prices vary by violation, time since incident, age, ZIP, and coverage. We shop multiple carriers to find competitive options for your profile.

Yes. A non owner policy with SR22 lets you meet the requirement if you do not have a vehicle.

It is liability coverage that follows you rather than a specific car, designed for drivers who do not own a vehicle but need to reinstate their license.
