What the filing is for
An SR-22 is proof of financial responsibility sent by an insurer to the state. It is not a policy by itself and does not automatically restore a license.
Situations that can lead to a requirement
South Dakota can require future financial responsibility after specified judgments or convictions, including certain DUI and no-insurance cases. Your order controls the details.
Policy and filing options
- An owner policy for a car you own.
- A non-owner option for some drivers without a car.
- A filing added to eligible existing coverage.
- High-risk underwriting options after recent incidents.
