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!

Im 19 years old and I need an sr22 insurance certificate. If my parents has full coverage, do I still need it?

Thank you for asking Paul.

A Sr-22 is a proof that you have a certain type of insurance. It is a certificate that an insurance provider files with the state. This is a a certificate that shows proof to the Department of Motor Vehicles, stating that the individual is meeting the states requirement for auto liability insurance. In addition to that, sr22 certifies that a motorist has the ability to pay future claims up to the state required limit.

It looks like the state in which you are residing is requiring you to acquire a SR-22 due to a traffic offense, accident or failure to show proof of insurance previously. The reasons may vary from state to state

Even with your parent’s having full coverage, which typically means state minimum required liability, if the state requires you to obtain the SR-22 to reinstate your license or for any reason, you will need to do so in order to have driving privileges.

Goodluck!
