SR22 Insurance in California
California requires an SR22 after a DUI conviction, driving without insurance, or an at-fault accident without coverage. California drivers on this site are routed to AGI for filing.
California looks back 10 years, and non-owner policies work differently.
California reviews the last 10 years of your driving record for SR22 purposes, longer than the 5-year window most other states use. If you need an SR22 but don't own a car, you need a non-owner policy instead — see the dedicated California non-owner page. California non-owner SR22 information
