How long do I need FR44 insurance in Florida?

Florida typically wants the FR44 kept in force for three years, and the clock usually starts on the date your driving privilege is reinstated. Not the arrest. Not the conviction date people circle on a calendar.

That is the part the websites bury. We've talked to drivers who cancelled early because they counted three years from the roadside stop, and the DHSMV still showed an open requirement. Keep the policy continuous. If it lapses, the carrier notifies the state, the license can be re-suspended, and the three years can start over.

We file electronically the same day you purchase. We cannot promise the DHSMV has already updated your record that afternoon. Confirmation can lag.

When the requirement actually ends, we can re-shop you for regular coverage without the FR44 filing sitting on top of it.
