What Is SR-22 Insurance?
An SR-22 isn’t a type of insurance, it’s a certificate that proves you carry the required auto liability coverage in New York. The state may require this filing if you’ve been involved in certain traffic violations or had your license suspended.
Common reasons for SR-22 requirements include:
Driving without insurance
DUI or DWI convictions
Multiple traffic violations
At-fault accidents without coverage
License or registration suspension
Once filed, the SR-22 confirms to the DMV that you’re insured and financially responsible. If your coverage lapses during this period, the state is immediately notified, which could lead to another suspension or fines.

At First Heritage, we handle the SR-22 filing process for you so you don’t have to deal with DMV paperwork or confusion. Our Personal Auto Insurance specialists work with top-rated carriers that offer SR-22 coverage at competitive rates.
