I live in San Francisco California. If my drivers license has been suspended for unrelated issue, am I still required to obtain SR22 insurance? How do I file an SR22 in California?

An SR22 insurance may be required for a number of reasons such as DUI, driving without insurance, too many points in your driving record or unpaid fines, etc. An SR22 is need to have your license reinstated after suspension.
I am not sure what you mean with unrelated issue so I wouldn’t know what kind of offense or violation you are referring to.
However, if you want to know if you are required to obtain an SR22 in San Francisco California, you may contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles to know the specific information you are looking for. You may be able to browse through their official website or you may also contact them at 1-800-777-0133 during normal business hours (Between 8-5, Mon., Tues., Thurs., & Fri. Between 9-5 on Wednesdays). Make sure you have your DL number ready when you call.

1. DUI/DWI or any serious moving violation
2. At-fault accidents while driving without insurance
3. Repeated traffic violations or getting too many tickets in a short time period
