What is an FR44? Understanding the Filing

There is a common misconception about what an FR44 actually is. Put simply, an FR44 isn’t insurance itself; it’s a filing (or a certificate) attached to your auto policy verifying that you are carrying specific, state-mandated liability coverages. You can read more about the legal specifics directly in the Florida FR44 Insurance Statute.

Only two states in the entire country require FR44 filings: Florida and Virginia. The primary purpose of an FR44 is to provide financial responsibility in the case you get into an accident. Sadly, the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (NCDAS) reports over 10,000 lives are lost each year due to drunk driving. Organizations like the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) South Florida location—located at 1655 N Commerce Pkwy #302 Weston FL 33326—work tirelessly to support victims and advocate for safer roads. Because of these risks, people in Florida who are convicted of a DUI have to do an FR44 filing to get their drivers license reinstated and prove they have the financial backing to drive safely again.

In Florida, all FR44 filings must be electronically filed directly from the insurance company to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Because we are FR44 experts, we make sure to expedite these filings so you can get back behind the wheel as fast as possible.

When you get FR44 insurance quotes in Hialeah, you will notice the coverage requirements are significantly higher than standard minimum auto insurance. Similar to what we detail on our main Florida FR44 Insurance page, the state mandates the following minimum liability limits:

  • $100,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per person

  • $300,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per accident

  • $50,000 for Property Damage Liability per accident

In Florida, FR44s are required to be filed for 3 years continuously.

Important Warning: 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 Hialeah Florida

What if you need to reinstate your license but you don’t actually own a car? That is where Non Owners FR44 Insurance Hialeah Florida comes in.

An non owners policy is basically an excess policy over the car you’re driving. It provides liability coverage for you as a driver, regardless of whose vehicle you are operating. However, the state has strict rules. To qualify for a non-owners policy, you cannot own or have a vehicle registered in your name (including co-owned vehicles). Additionally, you cannot have access to another vehicle or use one on a regular basis, such as a roommate’s or spouse’s vehicle. If you do use their vehicle regularly, you should be added to their policy as a regular operator instead.

Ignition Interlock Devices (IID)

Depending on the specifics of your conviction, you may be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in your vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website  highlights these devices as a highly effective way to prevent impaired driving.

If you are wondering who and under what circumstances people in Florida have to get an ignition interlock device installed, the state mandates it for repeat offenders, those with a high Blood Alcohol Level (BAL), or cases involving minors in the vehicle. You can find out more specific guidelines directly on the FLHSMV Ignition interlock page.
