Common reasons Chicago drivers file an SR-22.
If a judge, the Illinois Secretary of State, or a court order said "SR-22," you're probably in one of these buckets. We file for all of them — same day in most cases.
DUI or DWI conviction
Illinois requires SR-22 filing for a minimum of three years after a DUI to reinstate your license. Premiums go up — but shopping carriers makes a real difference.
Driving without insurance
Got pulled over without an active policy in Illinois? Reinstating typically requires an SR-22 filing plus payment of any reinstatement fees to the Secretary of State.
License reinstatement
If your Illinois license was suspended for any reason, the Secretary of State usually requires an SR-22 filed before you're back behind the wheel legally.
Multiple moving violations
Stacking tickets — speeding, reckless driving, at-fault accidents — can trigger a court-ordered SR-22 even without a DUI on your record.
Non-owner SR-22
Don't currently own a car but need to reinstate your license? A non-owner SR-22 covers you while you drive borrowed or rented vehicles in Illinois.
New to Illinois with an SR-22
Moving to Chicago with an SR-22 from another state? You'll need an Illinois-filed SR-22 from a carrier licensed in IL. We can write the Illinois policy and E-file it for you.
What an SR-22 filing actually costs in Chicago.
The SR-22 filing fee itself is small — typically around $20 — and it's added to your policy. What varies is the underlying auto insurance premium, which depends on a handful of factors.
Four Chicago-area offices. Two next to the DMV.
Most SR-22 filing happens over the phone or online — but if you'd rather walk in, every location has free parking and a bilingual team. HQ and Melrose Park sit right next to the DMV.
