What Exactly is an FR44?

Many people search for “FR44 insurance,” but the truth is, an FR44 isn’t actually an insurance policy at all. It is a certificate of financial responsibility—a specific filing form attached to your auto insurance policy.

Interestingly, only two states in the entire country require an FR44 filing: Florida and Virginia. In Florida, you are required to obtain this filing if your driver’s license has been suspended due to a DUI conviction. It serves as legal proof to the state that you are carrying the required, higher liability limits to cover damages in the event of an accident.

To streamline the reinstatement process, paper filings are a thing of the past. Today, all FR44 filings must be transmitted electronically directly to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) by your insurance provider. As experts, we handle this electronic filing for you instantly.

When you need an FR44, the state requires you to carry bodily injury and property damage limits that are significantly higher than standard Florida auto insurance. Your policy must include:

  • $100,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per person

  • $300,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per accident

  • $50,000 for Property Damage Liability per accident

(Note: For more details on state-wide requirements, visit our main Florida FR44 Insurance).

The 3-Year Rule: A Critical Warning

In Florida, you are legally mandated to maintain your FR44 filing for 3 years continuously from the date your revocation began.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: You must maintain this coverage without any lapse or interruption. If your policy cancels for non-payment, the insurance company is required by law to notify the state immediately. This will result in your license being suspended again, the 3-year “clock” starting over from zero, and additional reinstatement fees and court costs.

Non Owners FR44 Insurance Tallahassee Florida

What if you need to reinstate your license, but you don’t actually own a car? That is where a non-owner policy comes in.

A non-owner policy provides liability coverage for you when you are driving a vehicle owned by someone else. Essentially, it serves as an “excess” policy that kicks in after the vehicle owner’s primary insurance has paid out in an accident.

To qualify for Non Owners FR44 Insurance in Tallahassee Florida, you must meet strict criteria:

You cannot own a vehicle.

You cannot have a vehicle registered—or even partially registered/co-titled—in your name.

You cannot have regular access to a vehicle in your household (for example, you cannot buy a non-owner policy if you regularly drive your roommate’s, spouse’s, or live-in family member’s car).

Understanding Ignition Interlock Devices in Florida

An Ignition Interlock Device (IID) is a breathalyzer system installed directly into your vehicle’s dashboard. Before the engine will start, the driver must exhale into the device. If the IID detects a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the programmed limit, the vehicle will not start. You can learn more about how these safety devices work on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website.

Who has to obtain an IID in Florida? Florida law requires the installation of an IID for individuals convicted of certain DUI offenses, typically including first-time offenders with a BAC of .15 or higher, having a minor in the vehicle at the time of the DUI, or for any repeat DUI offenders. For specific guidelines and frequently asked questions regarding state mandates, we recommend visiting the FLHSMV Ignition Interlock Device FAQ page.

How to Reinstate Your Driver's License in Tallahassee

If your Florida driver’s license was suspended due to a DUI, obtaining an FR44 filing is only one piece of the puzzle. The reinstatement process requires clearing court obligations and fulfilling state mandates. Because we’ve helped Tallahassee drivers through this process for decades, we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to help you get back on the road.

Step 1: Pay Your Fines and Court Costs

Before the state will reinstate your driving privileges, you must satisfy any outstanding court fines or fees associated with your conviction. In Tallahassee, this is handled through the county clerk. You will need to contact the Leon County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller to check your balance, make payments, and ensure your court suspensions are officially cleared.

Step 2: Complete Your Required DUI Classes

Florida law requires drivers convicted of a DUI to complete specific substance abuse education courses. You must enroll in and complete an approved course before your license can be reinstated.

Step 3: Secure Your FR44 Insurance Filing

Once you have your certificate of completion for your DUI course and your court costs are paid, you need to prove financial responsibility. This is where Colucci Insurance steps in. We will shop the market for the cheapest FR44 insurance quotes in Tallahassee and electronically transmit your FR44 certificate directly to the FLHSMV so you are ready for the final step.

Step 4: Visit a Local Driver License Office

Once your steps are completed and your FR44 is filed, you can finalize your reinstatement. In Leon County, driver license services are handled by the Leon County Tax Collector. You can make an appointment and reinstate your license at any of the following Tallahassee locations:

  • Metropolitan Service Center 1276 Metropolitan Blvd, Ste 102 Tallahassee, FL 32312

  • Lake Jackson Service Center 3840 N. Monroe St, Ste 102 Tallahassee, FL 32303

  • Southside Service Center (Note: This is the only location for driving skills road tests) 3477 S. Monroe St. Tallahassee, FL 32301
