Having <\/span>SR-22 insurance<\/span><\/a> is a standard requirement for drivers who have been convicted of a serious driving offense. However, you only have to register for SR-22 insurance for a designated period of time. Afterward, you can switch to standard insurance and have the requirement removed from your record. This can potentially help you get better rates, as you\u2019re no longer automatically considered a high-risk driver. Luckily, getting an SR-22 removed from your record is a straightforward process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can an SR-22 Be Removed from My Record?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you follow the right steps, an SR-22 can eventually be <\/span>removed from your insurance<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> In some states, it may always be on your record. Other states will remove it completely. It won\u2019t automatically happen, though. You\u2019re responsible for contacting your insurance company and having it removed from your policy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Remove Your SR-22<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Here are the basic steps for ending your SR-22:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wait Out Your Filing Period<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Each state has its minimum filing period length, but the standard amount of time is three years. Check your state\u2019s laws and review your court documents to determine how long your SR-22 will be active. Be sure to wait out the entire filing period, as terminating your insurance early can have serious consequences.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Canceling your SR-22 before the full waiting period could result in losing your license, paying extra fines, or having it extended for additional time. You may even need to restart your waiting period and re-file completely. This involves paying filing fees and going through the processing period again, which can interfere with your driving privileges.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drive Safely<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important to drive safely during the entire duration of your SR-22. Because SR-22s are issued to high-risk drivers, your goal is to show that you\u2019re responsible enough to drive safely and have regular insurance again. Accruing multiple traffic violations or committing another serious driving infraction could result in your SR-22 being extended. Having any other legal issues could also make it more difficult to complete your waiting period in a timely manner.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Driving safely also sets you up for success when you return to regular insurance. Many different factors can influence your insurance rate, but people with better driving records often have more affordable premiums. By driving safely for the entire length of your SR-22, you can start building a positive driving record.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n
