Virginia SR-22 and FR-44 Requirements Explained

FR-44 after a DUI

Virginia requires an FR-44 for DUI convictions, doubling standard liability to 100/300/50. Other violations use a standard SR-22.

Filing period

3 continuous years from your reinstatement date. If the policy cancels, the DMV suspends your license immediately.

Higher base limits

Virginia raised minimum liability to 50/100/25 in 2025, so even a standard SR-22 policy costs more than in nearby states.

Interlock

Every DUI conviction in Virginia requires an ignition interlock for at least 12 months of restricted driving.

Non-owner policies

Non-owner SR-22 and FR-44 filings are accepted when you do not own or register a vehicle.
