PROOF FILING INFORMATION

The usual method of showing proof of financial responsibility is to provide a California Insurance
Proof Certificate (form SR-22/SR-1P) from an insurance company authorized to do business in
California. The types of coverage on the form SR-22/SR-1P are listed below:

SR-22: A motor vehicle liability policy may be provided to cover only vehicles registered in your
name (owner’s policy), only vehicles you do not own (operator’s policy), or all vehicles whether
you own them or not (broad coverage). This certificate is acceptable for any DMV actions
requiring proof of financial responsibility.

SR-1P: An automobile liability policy or a liability policy for vehicles with fewer than four wheels.
This certificate is acceptable after an accident without insurance, for negligent operator sanctions
per §12810.5 VC, for an application by a minor requiring proof (§17705 VC), or for a nonresident
minor’s certificate (§12504 VC).

To obtain a California Insurance Proof Certificate, contact an insurance agent or broker. Do
not submit a copy of your policy or your insurance application, as it cannot be accepted in
place of the California Insurance Proof Certificate. If necessary, persons unable to obtain this
insurance coverage through their regular insurance company may have any insurance agent
or broker make an application to the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan. The plan may
be contacted directly for information at:
