SR22 Illinois
Reader’s Question:
I received a no insurance ticket in the state of Illinois and I paid a fine for it already. Am I still supposed to get SR-22 insurance for this?

According to the Illinois Motorist Services that if you are cited for not having the state mandated insurance on your motor vehicle then the license plates of first time offenders will be suspended until a $100 reinstatement fee and current evidence of insurance are provided.
Repeat offenders on the other hand are required to serve a four-month suspension period, pay the $100 reinstatement fee and provide current evidence of insurance before being eligible for reinstatement.
Anyone who is convicted of a third or subsequent violation of driving without liability insurance or who receives court supervision for a mandatory insurance violation or is required to file proof of financial responsibility (SR22 certificate) for one year, or face a driver’s license suspension.
You may check with the Illinois Service for Motorist at the Secretary of State to verify this information.
