Virginia and Florida are the only two states in the US that require FR44 insurance — a higher-limit financial responsibility certificate required specifically after DUI convictions. If you received a DUI in Virginia, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires FR44 before reinstating your driver's license. FR44 Experts handles Virginia FR44 filings electronically, typically within one business day of payment.

Virginia FR44 requires significantly higher liability coverage than standard SR22 insurance. You must maintain it continuously for 3 years — any lapse triggers DMV notification, re-suspension, and resets your clock. We monitor your policy to prevent that.
