Minimum Coverage Requirements in Georgia

Georgia operates under a tort liability system and requires proof of financial responsibility for license reinstatement after suspension. The Georgia Department of Driver Services administers reinstatement and determines whether SR-22 filing is required based on suspension cause. DUI, reckless driving, and certain repeat violations trigger mandatory SR-22 filing for 3 years post-reinstatement.

Liability Insurance

Liability coverage pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files electronically with the Georgia Department of Driver Services proving you carry continuous liability coverage. Georgia requires SR-22 after DUI, reckless driving, accumulating 15 points in 24 months, driving without insurance, or repeat moving violations.

Non-Owner SR-22

Non-owner SR-22 provides liability coverage when you drive vehicles you don't own and satisfies Georgia's SR-22 filing requirement without owning a car. This is the correct policy type if your license is suspended, you sold your vehicle or don't currently own one, and you need to fulfill SR-22 obligations to qualify for reinstatement.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured motorist coverage pays your medical bills and lost wages when an at-fault driver has no insurance. Georgia law requires insurers to offer UM coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, and it's automatically included unless you reject it in writing.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard auto insurance is designed for drivers with suspended licenses, DUI convictions, lapses in coverage, or poor driving records who cannot qualify for standard carrier rates. These policies fulfill all state filing requirements and reinstatement conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my Georgia license is suspended?

Yes, Georgia requires proof of continuous liability insurance to reinstate a suspended license, even if you're not currently driving. If your suspension includes SR-22 filing requirements, you must maintain an active SR-22-backed policy for the entire 3-year period or your reinstatement eligibility resets. Letting coverage lapse during suspension triggers automatic re-suspension and restarts the SR-22 clock.

How long does Georgia require SR-22 filing after a DUI?

Georgia requires 3 years of continuous SR-22 filing after DUI conviction, measured from the reinstatement date, not the conviction date. Any lapse in SR-22 coverage during the 3-year period triggers automatic license re-suspension and restarts the 3-year requirement from zero. The Georgia Department of Driver Services receives electronic notification within 24 hours when your insurer cancels an SR-22 policy.
