What is SR-22 and will I need it?
SR-22 is a financial responsibility certificate that is filed with the Secretary of State's office. It is usually ordered by a judge because you have been found to be driving without insurance, driving under the influence, your driver's license is suspended/expired/ revoked, or your license plates are expired. Or you may receive a notice of suspension from the Secretary of State's office stating that if you don't file for an SR-22 by a certain date your driver's license will be suspended. The certificate notifies the State of Illinois that you have liability insurance and if your coverage is cancelled or expires. You may be required to carry the filing for one to three years.
