Springfield produces more SR-22 work than our other markets simply because it is the largest population we serve, and because it has the most traffic. Most of what we see comes from a DWI, driving without insurance, or an accumulation of violations — and in nearly every case the driver needs to be back on the road quickly.
If your licence is suspended, the filing is one part of getting it back. The state will also want its fees and anything the court ordered. We handle the insurance side the same day; the rest is between you and the Department of Revenue.
It is not an insurance policy. It is a certificate your insurance company files with the state confirming you carry at least the required liability coverage. So the first step is a policy — not every carrier will make the filing, and we work with ones that do.
It is normally required after a DWI or DUI, driving without insurance, an at-fault accident while uninsured, too many points, or as a condition of reinstating a suspended licence.
Once the policy is in force we submit the filing electronically, usually the same day. There is no form for you to mail. The Department of Revenue then has to process it and update your driving record, which typically takes up to five days.
The part we control happens immediately. The waiting afterwards is the state's, and nobody can shorten it.
A non-owner policy provides liability coverage when you drive vehicles you do not own, and satisfies the filing requirement. It usually costs less than a standard policy because there is no vehicle to repair. More on non-owner policies.
If the policy cancels while the filing is required, your insurer notifies the state. That generally means another suspension, more fees, and in many cases a restarted filing period. Automatic payment is the simplest protection there is. What happens if it lapses.

Yes. A non-owner policy provides the liability coverage the state requires and satisfies the filing, usually at a lower premium than a standard policy.
Generally three years in Missouri, typically measured from the date your licence is reinstated rather than the date of the offence. Confirm your end date with the licensing agency before cancelling anything.
The filing fee itself is small; the violation behind it is what raises the premium. Carriers price the same record very differently, which is why comparing matters more now than it ever did before.
