The DMV And Your SR22
Q: How is my SR22 processed at the DMV? How does that work?
A: The Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles is the department which handles all of your sr22 business, since it is also the department which handles your driver’s license. When your license is suspended, it is suspended through them, and so when it is restored it has to be restored through them.
You are able to restore your driver’s license with your sr22 in two separate ways. In one way, you have to present the SR22 form in person. Your car insurance company will send it to you, and after putting your signature on it, you will take it up to the Department of Motor Vehicles, present your form, pay the fee and anything else required in order to receive your license back, and then you’re good to go. Remember that you cannot actually drive until your physical license comes in the mail, but not with your temporary license.
One more common way for your SR22 filing is that you will go to a car insurance company and sign up to get insurance done through them, they will fill out an SR2 form and either mail it to you or allow you to print it out from their website, and then you will sign it and send it back and they will send it to the DMV themselves.
