How To Reinstate Your License
Need to reinstate your license? Classic Auto Insurance is here to help!
"My Indiana drivers license is suspended. When I asked about getting my license reinstated, people told me I could call the BMV, or recommended I go to their website, bmv.gov, to look up my drivers license account. The website explained that I have to pay a reinstatement fee to the BMV of Indiana, and I had to ask my insurance agent for an auto insurance policy that has the minimum Indiana liability limits, and the policy must have an SR22 filed with the BMV. When I called Classic Auto Insurance in Merrillville, Indiana they explained that the cost of my insurance would be $62 every 30 days, and that that policy would include an SR22 filed with the BMV. Due to Covid-19, I wasn’t able to come in, so they set the policy up with an e-signature via email and I paid the $62 by credit card. Once the policy application was complete, signed, and paid for, they issued the SR22 with the BMV. They told me it could take about 48 hours for the BMV to have the SR22 information in their systems across Indiana...
I was reminded that I would still need to pay the Indiana BMV a reinstatement fee. When I was on my BMV account, I noticed that there was a way to pay online. Once the BMV had both the SR22 and my reinstatement fee, they reinstated my license!
Classic Auto Insurance also reminded me that if I let my insurance cancel, a notice will automatically be sent to the BMV, and that the BMV would suspend my license again, and I would get another letter from the BMV about the suspension. They explained that if this happens, I can restart my insurance and that I would need to let them know at classic to re-file the SR 22. Lastly, I should check my BMV account to make sure that my license had been reinstated.
I was worried about what I would have to go through to reinstate my license, but classic auto insurance made it as easy as possible!"

Proof of Financial Responsibility
To simplify, proof of financial responsibility is an SR22. An SR22 is a document that is filed to prove that your vehicle is insured with the required minimum liability auto insurance. Referencing the Indiana BMV, "The SR22 is proof of future financial responsibility and may be imposed for a variety of reasons for up to five (5) years.. A valid SR22 form must remain on file with the BMV for the duration of the required period."
Reasons for Obtaining an SR22
According to the Indiana BMV, "The Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is required to verify that all motorists have the minimum liability insurance coverage in effect with respect to the vehicle operated whenever a vehicle operator is involved in:
- An auto accident for which the BMV receives an accident report.
- A pointable moving violation within one (1) year of receiving two (2) other pointable moving violations.
- A serious traffic violation, such as a misdemeanor or felony.
- Any pointable violation by a driver who was previously suspended for failing to provide proof of financial responsibility
What happens if I let my SR22 expire?
The Indiana BMV states, "If the Indiana BMV receives an SR26 (cancellation of SR22 insurance) notice from your insurance provider, or the BMV does not have an effective SR22 on file at any time during the three (3) or five (5) year period, your driving privileges will be suspended until the Indiana BMV receives an effective SR22 policy that shows coverage is in effect, or the SR22 requirement period expires." To file an SR22 to reinstate your Indiana Driver's license, contact Classic Auto Insurance. For further detail about this occurance, contact your local BMV.
Non-owners & SR22 Insurance
My Indiana driver's license is suspended. I was told I need non-owners insurance because I do not ow
- Someone else referred to this as "SR22 insurance'. When I called Classic Auto Insurance, they explained that an SR22 is actually a notice that goes to the state of Indiana to show that I obtain at least the minimum requirement of auto liability insurance for Indiana. They asked me whether or not I own a car. I explained to them that I did not own a car, but I did want to get my license reinstated. They said that would be fine, because it is still an automobile insurance policy, called a non-owners policy. The agent at Classic Auto Insurance verified that the price would remain the same regardless of whether or not I own a car to get liability auto insurance. They gave me an easy 30 day price, they filled out an application, and asked me a few questions. I paid with my debit card and they filed the SR22 with the state of Indiana for me. I asked them why other people referred to this procedure as SR22 insurance? They explained that a lot of people think there is a separate type of an insurance policy called SR22 insurance, but it is actually a form number that gets filed with the state of Indiana to show that an insurance policy is active. They followed up by explaining that the term "non-owners insurance" is a term used when someone needs auto insurance for the license but doesn’t own a car in their name. The agent at Classic Auto Insurance did say that if I let my insurance policy cancel that another form would automatically be sent to Indiana called an SR 26. That would notify the state that I don’t have an active insurance policy anymore and the state of Indiana would probably re-suspend my license. If this were to happen, when I’m ready to restart my insurance, I would need to tell Classic Auto Insurance to file an SR 22 on my policy again. After the SR22 is refiled, the insurance agent stated that in that situation, I should check with the BMV or their website afterward to make sure my license status is accurate.
No Insurance: Ticket or Accident
I had no insurance when I got into an accident or got a ticket. What happens next?
I got a ticket in Indiana, and I let my insurance expire. I got a letter in the mail from the Indiana BMV asking me to have my insurance agent show proof of insurance for the day I received the ticket. When I called my insurance agent, they told me that my insurance had expired and that they were unable to fill out the certificate of compliance that the BMV is requesting because there was no insurance at the time.
What happens after that?
I asked them, "What would happen to my license if I couldn't show proof of insurance?" They explained that "What usually happens is the Indiana BMV sets a date that they will suspend my license for not having insurance at the time of a violation or accident." Since I never had my license suspended before, it would likely be suspended for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, the BMV would send me a notice saying that I can get my license reinstated by paying a fee to the Indiana BMV of about $150. The BMV would request another form called an SR22. The SR22 shows proof of current insurance and continuous insurance. They BMV went on to say that the SR22 is usually required to be kept on file with the Indiana BMV for two years, which means that I will have to keep my insurance going with an SR 22 file on it for two years.
