Click Here to Call (253) 660-5485How the filing works in three steps
- Read the Washington DOL notice and identify the reason and dates.
- Discuss owner or non-owner coverage options, subject to eligibility.
- Confirm the insurer submitted the filing and separately check reinstatement with DOL.
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility. It is not a separate policy, a license reinstatement decision, or a substitute for reading your notice.
Who needs one
Washington DOL may require proof after certain convictions, forfeited bail, unpaid judgments, or vehicle-related collision situations. The notice and driving record matter.
Four filing situations to discuss
- Owner policy for a vehicle you own.
- Non-owner policy for an eligible driver without a vehicle.
- New coverage after a lapse or uninsured-driving event.
- Filing tied to a DOL or judgment-related requirement.
What it costs
Price depends on driving history, vehicle, location, limits and insurer. A filing fee may apply separately. We do not promise a price before an insurer evaluates the details.
Washington minimum coverage
These standard minimum liability limits are the legal baseline. They may not cover all losses in a serious crash.
| Bodily injury, one person | $25,000 |
| Bodily injury, one accident | $50,000 |
| Property damage, one accident | $10,000 |

Frequently asked questions
What is an SR-22 in Washington?
An SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility filed with Washington DOL by an insurer or authorized filer. It is evidence of coverage, not a separate policy.
Who may need to file?
DOL lists certain convictions or forfeited bail, unpaid judgments, and vehicle-related collision situations among reasons proof may be required. Your notice controls.
How long is proof required?
In most cases, Washington DOL says three years from the date you are eligible to reinstate. Check your notice for your own requirement.
Does Washington use FR-44?
The official Washington DOL sources reviewed describe SR-22 filings and do not indicate an FR-44 requirement for Washington.
What are the minimum liability limits?
Standard minimums are $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $10,000 property damage.
Is uninsured motorist coverage mandatory?
The mandatory insurance law specifies liability minimums. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is separate; ask the insurer about availability and terms.
Can an insurer file electronically?
Washington DOL offers an online SR-22/SR-26 submission system for insurance companies and authorized submitters.
Can I file without owning a car?
An eligible non-owner policy may be an option, depending on vehicle access, household circumstances and insurer rules.
What does SR-22 cost?
There is no single statewide price. Premium and any filing fee depend on insurer and policy details.
Can I drive right after filing?
Not necessarily. Filing proof does not resolve every reinstatement condition. Confirm your driving status with DOL before driving.
What if my policy cancels?
Contact the insurer promptly and ask about replacement coverage and filing continuity. Do not drive unless your coverage and license status are valid.
Can I show insurance on my phone?
Washington permits electronic proof of insurance, but showing an ID card is different from confirming an SR-22 was submitted.
Can credit affect rates?
Washington allows insurers to use credit history subject to state and federal restrictions.
When must a crash be reported?
If no officer investigates, Washington DOL says each driver must submit a collision report within four days. Injury and property damage can also affect record reporting.
Can you guarantee same-day reinstatement?
No. Insurer submission, complete documents, DOL processing and other conditions affect timing. DOL says processing can take 7–10 business days after receiving documents.
