In Georgia, an SR‑22A (Georgia Safety Responsibility Insurance Certificate) is required for drivers who have been convicted of a second or subsequent “No Insurance” suspension. All customers with two or more such citations must purchase and maintain an SR‑22A policy; non‑owners must obtain an SR‑22A Non‑Owner’s policy. The certificate may be faxed to the Department of Driver Services (DDS) by the insurer, and the coverage must be kept in force for three (3) years from the conviction date. Additionally, the driver must have served a minimum of 90 days of suspension before becoming eligible for reinstatement.
To reinstate the license, the driver must submit the required SR‑22/A documentation and pay the reinstatement fee. Fees are $200 (first offense) or $300 (second or more) when paid by mail, with a slight increase for in‑person payments ($210 and $310 respectively). Payments can be made by mail, online at dds.drives.ga.gov, or in person at a DDS Customer Service Center. Once payment is processed and all other requirements are satisfied, driving privileges are restored. Cancellation of the SR‑22/A during the three‑year period will trigger automatic license cancellation.
