Portsmouth FAQ

Do I need SR22 or FR44 in Portsmouth?
A DUI or alcohol-related conviction requires FR44. Other violations, driving without insurance, excessive points, a non-DUI suspension, require standard SR22. Check your reinstatement notice to confirm which applies.
What are the FR44 minimums in Portsmouth?
Virginia FR44 requires $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident / $40,000 property damage (50/100/40) in coverage, double the standard SR22 minimum of 25/50/20, making FR44 policies more expensive.
Who files the SR22 or FR44 on my behalf?
Your insurance carrier files electronically with the Virginia DMV. You don't mail anything. We confirm the filing is received before ending your call.
