Read on for 9 ways to know you’ve chosen the right SR-22 insurance provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. They Have Proper Licensing<\/h2>\n

The insurance agent you speak with about your SR-22 document and need for insurance should have a proper insurance license from the relevant state regulatory agency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All state governments have a central licensing board which you can search for confirmation that your agent has the proper licenses and permits to sell auto insurance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each state will have its own licensing division. You can likely find yours by searching for your state plus \u201cinsurance license lookup\u201d in your preferred search engine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, the <\/span>NY State Department of Financial Services<\/span><\/a> allows users to search for licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. They Have Great Customer Reviews<\/h2>\n

Before you work with a particular agent or insurance company, you want to do your due diligence and make sure that other clients have had successful outcomes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can check online for reviews from popular sites like Yelp, and Google, or social media networks like Reddit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you see common trends, such as a pattern of negative reviews or similar criticisms between clients, you can take those as a sign of trouble ahead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You should also consider reviewing if your preferred agent or carrier has any active or historical enforcement actions.<\/span><\/p>\n
