FR44 Experts specializes in exactly this: filing FR44 certificates electronically with the Florida DHSMV, most often within 30 minutes of your first payment.
Cape Coral is Lee County's largest city, with a population of over 204,000 — making it one of the largest cities in Southwest Florida. Known as a 'Waterfront Wonderland' with over 400 miles of navigable waterways, Cape Coral connects to Fort Myers via the Cape Coral Bridge and Midpoint Memorial Bridge. Commuters rely heavily on US-41, Pine Island Road, and Del Prado Boulevard. A DUI arrest in Cape Coral is prosecuted through the Lee County courts (20th Judicial Circuit), and license suspensions are handled by the Florida DHSMV — the same process whether you're arrested in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, or anywhere else in the county.
FR44 insurance is a Florida-specific requirement. Unlike SR22 insurance used in most states, Florida's FR44 requires ten times the standard liability limits — $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident, $50,000 for property damage. Most insurance agents either don't know the difference or charge a premium because they rarely handle these filings. We do them every day, which means faster service and lower rates for Cape Coral drivers.
Florida mandates higher liability limits for FR44 filers than standard SR22 states. Here's exactly what the DHSMV requires:
| Coverage Type | FR44 Minimum (Florida) | Standard SR22 Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Injury — Per Person | $100,000 | $10,000 |
| Bodily Injury — Per Accident | $300,000 | $20,000 |
| Property Damage | $50,000 | $10,000 |
| Required Duration | 3 years continuous | 1–3 years (varies by state) |

Florida requires FR44 holders to carry liability limits of $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident, and $50,000 for property damage — ten times the standard SR22 limits. You must maintain continuous coverage for 3 years from the date your license is reinstated.
