Minimum Coverage Requirements in Mississippi

Drivers convicted of DUI, caught driving without insurance, or involved in at-fault uninsured accidents typically face SR-22 filing requirements administered by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. The state uses a point system where accumulating 12 points in 12 months triggers license suspension, and certain violations mandate SR-22 certification for reinstatement.

Liability Insurance

Mississippi law mandates 25/50/25 minimum liability limits for all drivers.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy but a certificate filed by your insurer with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety proving you carry at least minimum liability coverage. Mississippi requires continuous SR-22 certification for the full 3-year period, and any coverage lapse restarts the clock while suspending your license immediately.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers specialize in writing policies for drivers with DUIs, multiple violations, or license suspensions who cannot secure coverage from standard insurers.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage is especially relevant in Mississippi where rates of uninsured driving exceed the national average and at-fault uninsured accidents can trigger additional SR-22 requirements.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, comprehensive, and collision protection and is required by lenders for financed or leased vehicles. While state law only mandates liability, drivers with SR-22 requirements and financed vehicles must maintain full coverage continuously or face both lender repossession and license suspension for SR-22 lapse.
