Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended in Georgia?

Yes, if your suspension stems from DUI, at-fault accidents without insurance, or repeat violations. Georgia DDS requires proof of continuous coverage or an SR-22 filing before reinstatement. If suspended for unpaid fines or child support, insurance may not be mandated, but you cannot drive legally without it once reinstated.

How long does Georgia require SR-22 filing?

Georgia mandates 3 years of continuous SR-22 filing following DUI convictions or major violations. The clock starts from your conviction or violation date, not your filing date. Any lapse in coverage resets the 3-year period.

Can I get a hardship license in Georgia, and does it require insurance?

Georgia does not issue hardship licenses for standard suspensions. Limited Driving Permits are available only for first-offense DUI cases during the suspension period, requiring SR-22 filing, ignition interlock installation, and enrollment in DUI Risk Reduction courses before approval.

What happens if my SR-22 insurance lapses in Georgia?

Your insurer notifies Georgia DDS electronically within 24 hours of a lapse. DDS suspends your license immediately and resets your 3-year SR-22 requirement from the new reinstatement date. You must obtain new coverage, file a new SR-22, and pay reinstatement fees again.

Which insurance companies offer SR-22 filing in Georgia?

Progressive, GEICO, State Farm, Nationwide, and The General all offer SR-22 filing in Georgia. Non-standard carriers like Direct Auto and Acceptance Insurance specialize in high-risk drivers and often approve policies standard carriers decline.
