Reader question:

What are the DMV SR22 costs?

Glad you asked, Ashley.

The DMV SR22 costs vary depending on the state. There are a couple of things that you need to pay, mainly the fines and fees for reinstated your driver’s license. The best thing to keep your DMV SR22 costs down is to make sure you only pay these fees and fines one time. You can make sure of that by paying your SR22 policy consistently and making sure you never lapse, and staying out of trouble so that your driver’s license is not suspended again.

There are many ways your policy can lapse. If you decide not to pay your SR22 policy, then you are usually given a grace period, but if the payment is not made during that grace period, then the car insurance company will send the DMV an SR-26 form. An SR-26 form is a form which cancels out the original SR-22 form. In order to get back on track, not only will you have to pay the fees and fines to get your license reinstated once again, but you will also have to pay another charge with your auto insurance company to file the SR22. This usually costs around $30.
