What if forgetting to update your paperwork cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars?<\/p>\n

If you are required to file an SR-22 with your state, you understand the importance of having the right SR-22 insurance<\/a>. However, you may have to move out of state for educational opportunities, job opportunities, and anything in-between.<\/p>\n

That brings us to the big questions: What happens to your old policy on file after you move? What do you need to do once you move to your new state? Keep reading to discover the answers!<\/p>\n

Do I Have to Keep My SR-22 Insurance When Moving Out of State?<\/h2>\n

When you move to a new state, you must keep your SR-22 insurance. Otherwise, you run the risk of losing your license and having to start the process all over again.<\/p>\n

When the state requires you to file an SR-22, it is because they worry about your safety as a driver. Most people in this situation have been convicted of a DUI or DWI<\/a>. Therefore, insurance requirements ensure you have enough coverage in the event that you should cause an accident.<\/p>\n

This is also why the SR-22s have \u201ctime limits.\u201d The idea is that, after enough years have gone by, you are now a safer driver than you were before. Crucially, though, those time limits don\u2019t \u201creset\u201d after you move to another state. Instead, you will need to continue having insurance that meets the requirements, though you may need to find a new insurance provider, and you may want to make a few lifestyle changes so you can get a better rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Happens If I Don\u2019t Keep My SR-22 Insurance After Moving?<\/h2>\n

If your SR-22 insurance coverage lapses in your original state, that state will suspend your license. Most states belong to the interstate Driver License Compact, which means they share information, especially about violations and suspensions and to keep people from having two \u2013 or more \u2013 driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n

Depending on your original state, there may be additional penalties for failing to maintain your insurance. This could include having to pay fines or having your requirements extended. In some cases, you could even spend time in jail!<\/p>\n

On top of everything else, you won\u2019t be able to get insurance in your new state until you have taken care of all the SR-22 paperwork. That paperwork can be confusing at times, but our guide below will walk you through how to stay compliant before, during, and after your move.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n
