auto sr 22 Illinois

Reader’s Question:

I got a ticket for driving without insurance in Illinois, do I still need to get an sr-22?

Thank you for asking Olive.

According to the Illinois Motorist Services, if you get caught driving without insurance, the state will mandate insurance on your car then suspend the license plates of first time offenders. You will also have to pay a reinstatement fee of $100 reinstatement fee and current evidence of insurance should be provided.

Repeat offenders will be required to have a four-month period of suspension, make a payment of a $100 reinstatement fee and show proof of current insurance before being eligible for reinstatement of license.

An individual who receives supervision from court for a mandatory insurance violation or who is convicted subsequent violation of operating a vehicle without liability insurance is required to file evidence of financial responsibility (SR22 certificate) for a year, or driver’s license may be suspended.

To get more information and to make sure that the conviction for driving without a license ticket does not require you to get an SR-22, contact the Illinois Service for Motorist at the Secretary of State.

Goodluck!
