A DUI conviction doesn’t end with court. It can follow you into your finances, especially with car insurance.
SR-22 Requirement
In Arizona, drivers with a DUI must file an SR-22 certificate — proof of high-risk insurance.
Increased Premiums
Insurance rates may double or triple after a DUI. Some carriers may even cancel your policy altogether.
Length of Impact
Arizona typically requires SR-22 filing for 3 years. During this time, your insurance costs can remain significantly higher.
Why This Matters
Over 3 years, a DUI could cost you thousands in additional premiums, on top of court fines and legal fees.

- Shop around for high-risk insurance providers
