SR-22 Auto Insurance California CA
Reader’s Question:
I heard that I can purchase auto insurance through websites. And my friends also suggest that before I purchase one, it would be best if I check on the auto insurance quotes first though online resources like websites so I could compare prices. My question is, I have a friend who is required to carry SR-22 auto insurance. Since anyone could check on available auto insurance rates through websites, can he also get SR-22 form by downloading it from the internet?

This is quite a difficult question. Because, honestly until now I am not aware of any downloadable forms from the internet for SR-22.
Let me first do some explanation about SR-22. The SR-22 certificate is a form issued by your car insurance company. This serves as a proof of evidence to California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that you have indeed auto insurance policy and that your policy meets what is required by California state law.
Not everyone is required to purchase this. Only those drivers who are suspended for driving while intoxicated (DUI), have numerous moving violations within a period of one year; driving without car insurance to name a few reasons are the one who are required to purchase SR-22 certificate.
For better understanding about SR-22 form, please do ask your car insurance agent in California.
