What Is an FR-44?
An FR-44 is a financial responsibility filing used in Florida in certain circumstances. The filing is associated with an auto insurance policy and is used to demonstrate that the driver carries the required level of financial responsibility.
An FR-44 is not the same thing as an insurance policy. You must have qualifying insurance coverage for an insurance company to submit the filing on your behalf.
The exact circumstances that require an FR-44 vary by individual case. If you have received official instructions requiring an FR-44, review those instructions carefully and confirm your specific requirements with the appropriate Florida authority.
Because FR-44 requirements can involve higher liability limits than standard policies, the cost of insurance may be higher for a driver who needs an FR-44. For general background, see our FR-44 insurance overview.

Who May Need an FR-44 Filing?
Not every driver with a ticket, accident, or DUI automatically needs an FR-44.
An FR-44 requirement is determined by the applicable circumstances and official requirements.
DUI-Related Insurance Requirements
FR-44 filings are commonly associated with certain DUI-related driving situations in Florida. If you have been instructed to obtain an FR-44 following a DUI-related matter, you may need to carry qualifying auto insurance with the required liability limits and maintain that coverage for the required period. Because individual requirements can vary, verify the specific requirements that apply to your case.
License Suspension or Reinstatement
If your driver's license has been suspended and you have been told that an FR-44 is required for reinstatement, obtaining qualifying insurance may be one part of the process. Your insurance company can handle the filing associated with your policy when available. Before changing or canceling coverage, make sure you understand the requirements associated with your license and FR-44.
Serious Driving Violations
Certain serious driving-related circumstances can result in additional financial responsibility requirements. If you have been officially instructed to obtain an FR-44, provide that information when requesting an insurance quote. The insurance professional can then determine what type of coverage and filing options may be available.
Other Financial Responsibility Requirements
Your individual requirements depend on the circumstances of your case and instructions from the applicable authority. If you are uncertain whether you need an FR-44, confirm your requirement before purchasing coverage.
FR-44 Filing in Florida City, FL
If you need an FR-44 filing in Florida City, the insurance company generally handles the filing after you obtain qualifying coverage.
The typical process is:
- 1. Determine that an FR-44 is required.
- 2. Obtain an eligible auto insurance policy.
- 3. Request the FR-44 filing.
- 4. The insurance company submits the filing to the appropriate state system.
- 5. Maintain the required insurance coverage.
The FR-44 is connected to the insurance policy. If the policy is canceled or allowed to lapse while an FR-44 requirement is active, additional consequences may occur depending on the circumstances. For this reason, maintaining continuous qualifying coverage is important.
How to Get FR-44 Insurance in Florida City
Getting started is straightforward when you know what information to provide.
Step 1: Confirm Your FR-44 Requirement
Before requesting a quote, confirm that an FR-44 is required and review any instructions you have received. If you have documentation from the state or another official source, keep it available.
Step 2: Request an FR-44 Insurance Quote
When requesting a quote, tell the insurance professional that you need an FR-44. Be honest and accurate about your driving history, license status, vehicle, and prior insurance.
Step 3: Purchase Qualifying Coverage
An insurance company must provide qualifying coverage before it can submit the appropriate filing. Coverage limits and eligibility depend on the insurer and your individual circumstances.
Step 4: Have the Insurance Company Submit the Filing
Once qualifying coverage is in place, the insurance company can submit the FR-44 filing through the applicable process. Ask your insurance professional when the filing is expected to be submitted and whether you need to complete any additional steps.
Step 5: Maintain Required Coverage
Do not allow required coverage to lapse while you are subject to an FR-44 requirement. Follow the requirements applicable to your individual situation and confirm when the requirement has been satisfied before making changes to your policy.
Florida FR-44 Liability Requirements
One of the most important differences between an FR-44 requirement and standard auto insurance is the level of liability coverage that may be required.
Florida's FR-44 requirements involve substantially higher liability limits than the minimums commonly associated with ordinary Florida auto insurance: $100,000 per person and $300,000 per crash for bodily injury, plus $50,000 for property damage, carried for a minimum of 3 years. The exact figures are set out below.
How those limits apply to your own reinstatement should still be confirmed against the order you received and with your insurance professional. The statutory framework is set out in Fla. Stat. § 324.023.
Do not assume that a standard liability policy will satisfy an FR-44 requirement.
When you request an FR-44 insurance quote in Florida City, tell the agent about your FR-44 requirement so the appropriate coverage can be discussed.
The Limits Florida Requires on an FR-44
These are the amounts the statute sets — the numbers a carrier has to certify before driving privileges are reinstated.
- This applies to an owner or operator who — regardless of adjudication of guilt — was found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, driving under the influence under Fla. Stat. 316.193 after October 1, 2007.
- An FR-44 is not a policy. It is proof you can respond in damages at these higher limits, established by one of the methods in Fla. Stat. 324.031(1) or (2) and filed on your behalf.
- The bodily injury requirement is ten times an SR-22's. SR-22 financial responsibility under Fla. Stat. 324.021(7) is $10,000 per person, $20,000 per crash and $10,000 property damage — the two filings are not interchangeable.
- The statute provides an exemption: an owner or operator not convicted of driving under the influence or a felony traffic offense for 3 years from the date driving privileges were reinstated is exempt from this section.
Source: Fla. Stat. § 324.023 (2026). Limits are set by statute and are not a quote; your premium depends on your own record, vehicle and carrier.
Affordable FR-44 Insurance Florida City
If you need an FR-44, you may be concerned about the cost.
Insurance premiums can be higher for drivers with serious violations or other high-risk factors. The FR-44 requirement itself may also require higher liability limits, which can affect the premium.
However, it is still worthwhile to compare available insurance options.
Your rate can depend on factors such as:
- Driving record
- Vehicle
- Coverage limits
- Prior insurance history
- Location
- Claims history
- Age and other rating factors
- Insurance company
Instead of focusing only on the lowest possible price, compare the coverage and limits you are receiving for the premium.
Our team can help you explore available options for your situation. For everyday coverage questions unrelated to a filing, see our car insurance page for Florida City or our broader auto insurance guide.
FR-44 Insurance After a DUI
If you have been told that you need an FR-44 following a DUI-related matter, obtaining the required insurance can be an important part of your reinstatement process.
An FR-44 does not erase a driving violation and does not replace any other requirements imposed by the state or court.
You may have additional requirements beyond obtaining insurance.
For insurance-related assistance, tell us that you have an FR-44 requirement when requesting your quote.
We can help you explore available insurance options while you handle the other requirements applicable to your situation.
FR-44 vs. SR-22 Insurance in Florida
FR-44 and SR-22 are both financial responsibility filings, but they are not the same filing.
One of the most important differences is that an FR-44 requirement can involve substantially higher liability limits.
If you have been instructed to obtain an FR-44, do not assume that an SR-22 will satisfy the requirement.
Likewise, if you have an SR-22 requirement, you should not assume that an FR-44 is necessary.
The correct filing depends on your individual circumstances and official requirements. If your requirement is an SR-22 instead, see our page on SR-22 insurance in Florida City, or read about non-owner filing options if you do not own a vehicle.
How Long Do You Need an FR-44?
The required duration of an FR-44 depends on the circumstances that resulted in the requirement and the applicable Florida requirements.
Do not assume that the filing automatically ends after a particular number of months.
Follow the official instructions associated with your case and confirm when your requirement has been satisfied.
Maintaining continuous qualifying insurance coverage during the required period is important.
