I have a DUI on my driving record from a year ago. My license was just reinstated, but apparently I need my insurer to file an SR-22 form for me. Will Amica Insurance file an SR-22 form on my behalf?
on behalf of a policyholder. If a court has ordered you to have an SR-22 certificate filed for you, you’ll need to find an insurer that will do so before you’ll be allowed back on the road.
Drivers with a significant driving conviction on their record, such as a
or reckless driving, usually require their insurer to file an SR-22 form on their behalf before they are allowed to drive again after their driver’s license is reinstated. By filing an SR-22 on a policyholder’s behalf, an insurer is essentially guaranteeing that the driver in question carries at least the requisite amount of liability insurance legally required to drive in that state.

If this applies to you, you’ll need to seek out an insurer that is willing to insure a high-risk driver and file an SR-22 form on your behalf.
