SR22 After OVI — Ohio
SR22 Insurance After an OVI in Ohio
An OVI conviction requires SR22 filing for 3 years in Ohio. Cincinnati's 1st Choice Insurance files your SR22 with the Ohio BMV fast — often the same day — and finds you the lowest rate available.
What Happens to Your Insurance After an OVI in Ohio?
An OVI (Operating a Vehicle Impaired) conviction in Ohio triggers an automatic license suspension and requires you to file an SR22 certificate with the Ohio BMV before you can reinstate your driving privileges. The SR22 must be maintained continuously for 3 years — a lapse resets the clock and can result in another suspension.
At 1st Choice Insurance, we specialize in high-risk drivers. Our Fairfield office serves all of Southwest Ohio — Cincinnati, Hamilton, West Chester, Middletown, Fairfield, and beyond. We compare multiple Ohio-licensed carriers to find you the most affordable SR22 policy after your OVI, and we file directly with the BMV so you can get back on the road as quickly as possible.
