SR-22 Insurance/Uninsured Crashes

COURT SUPERVISION FOR MANDATORY INSURANCE VIOLATIONS

Individuals receiving court supervision for mandatory insurance violations under authority Section 3-707, are required to file the SR-22 certificate for a period of one (1) year for offenses that occur prior to January 1, 2008, or (3) years for offenses that occur on January 1, 2008 and after. The SR-22 is required as a condition of the court supervision. If the motorist fails to renew or cancels the SR-22 policy of insurance, the Secretary of State will suspend the driving record (Type Action 05). This suspension cannot be removed until the insurance filing has been reinstated.

Mandatory Insurance Conviction

Individuals receiving three or more convictions for violation of the Mandatory Insurance Law are required to file the SR-22 insurance for a period of (1) one year for offenses that occur prior to January 1, 2008, or (3) years for offenses that occur on January 1, 2008 and after. The SR-22 requirement is triggered by the third conviction. The third conviction occurring in 2008 will increase the filing time from one to three years. If an individual is convicted of a Mandatory Insurance Offense under authority section 625 ILCS 5/3-707, the Secretary of State computer system will search for previous violations for the same offense. Upon the third or subsequent conviction for Mandatory Insurance, a suspension notice will be generated. The driver's license suspension will be effective in 90 days from the notice date if the SR-22 Insurance is not purchased and processed by our office.
