SR22 Teen Auto Insurance Certificate

Reader’s Question:

I’m required to carry an sr22 certificate. What happens if I ignore this? Will my license be suspended? What will happens if I turned 21?

Thank you for asking Lala.

If your state has required of you to prove your financial responsibility with a SR-22 certificate and you decided not to, then it is likely that your license will be suspended or even revoked. State laws differ so you would have to contact your Department of Motor Vehicles, or similar entity, to get more information on the specific penalties you would be facing with.

Your driving history follows you no matter your age so your license would stay suspended or revoked most likely until you get the SR22 for the required amount of time and take care of the infraction to the terms that the court or DMV compels you to. If you turn 21 it is not likely to change anything in most any state.

Goodluck!
