Understanding FR-44
What Is FR-44 Insurance in Florida?
FR-44 is a certificate of financial responsibility required by the State of Florida after a DUI conviction. It proves to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) that you carry higher-than-normal liability insurance.
Unlike standard auto insurance, FR-44 requires significantly higher coverage limits: $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $50,000 for property damage. These limits are 10x higher than Florida’s standard minimums.
Your insurance company files the FR-44 certificate electronically with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). Once filed and processed, you can begin the process of reinstating your driver’s license.

How It Works
Non-Owner FR-44 Insurance in Florida
If you need to reinstate your license after a DUI but don’t currently own a vehicle, you still need FR-44 insurance. A Non-Owner FR-44 policy provides the required coverage for any vehicle you might drive.
Why Non-Owner FR-44 Matters
Even if you don’t plan to drive, maintaining a non-owner FR-44 policy keeps you in compliance with Florida law and prevents gaps in your insurance history. When you eventually buy a car, you’ll avoid the rate increases that come with coverage lapses.
Important: If you plan to drive any vehicle—friend’s car, rental car, work vehicle—you need this coverage. Driving without it means driving illegally.
Important Warning
What Happens If You Don’t Get FR-44 Insurance?
Driving without required FR-44 insurance has serious consequences. Here’s what you risk.
License Stays Suspended
Without FR-44 filing, your license cannot be reinstated. You remain unable to legally drive.
Criminal Charges
Driving on a suspended license in Florida is a criminal offense with potential jail time.
Higher Future Rates
Gaps in coverage lead to even higher insurance rates when you eventually do get insured.
Extended FR-44 Period
If your FR-44 lapses, the 3-year requirement may restart from the beginning.
Don’t let this situation get worse. The sooner you get FR-44 insurance, the sooner you can move forward.
