Am I required to file an SR-22 form even if I was not convicted of a DUI but still had my license suspended?
Was charged with an infraction form of a DUI around last year: I blew a 0.01%, very low. I got legal help, went to court, and had the charges dropped. However, the DMV still suspended my license for a year. It has been a year and now I am trying to reinstate my license, do I need to get an SR-22 form from my insurance company? I am already insured on my vehicle.

Since you have your driver's license suspended as a result of the blood alcohol reading of 0.10% which the matter was resilved, under the laws of all states, once you have had your driver's license suspeced as a result of an alcohol related matter, you are required under the law to submit a completed SR-22 form to your state's department of motor vehicles showing that you are an insured driver for a motor vehicle on public roads.
