Minimum Coverage Requirements in Hawaii

Hawaii operates as a no-fault state, which means your Personal Injury Protection coverage pays your medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. After a DUI conviction, the Hawaii Administrative Driver's License Revocation Office requires SR-22 filing to reinstate your license. The filing period starts on your conviction date — not your reinstatement date — and runs for three years without a lapse.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injury you cause to others in an accident. If you caused injury in your DUI incident, underinsured claims against you remain a risk even after conviction.

Property Damage Liability

Covers damage you cause to another vehicle or property.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Covers your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. Hawaii's no-fault system makes PIP mandatory.

SR-22 Certificate of Financial Responsibility

The SR-22 is not insurance — it is a state filing your carrier submits electronically to prove you carry the required minimums. If your policy lapses for any reason, the carrier notifies the state within 24 hours and your license is re-suspended. The three-year period restarts from the lapse date, not the original conviction date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need SR-22 after a DUI in Hawaii?

Hawaii requires SR-22 filing for three years from your DUI conviction date — not from the date you reinstated your license. If your policy lapses at any point during those three years, the filing period restarts from the lapse date and you must refile and pay reinstatement fees again.

Will State Farm or Geico file SR-22 for Hawaii DUI drivers?

State Farm and Geico will file SR-22 for existing customers already on a policy at the time of conviction, but both typically non-renew at the end of your six-month or annual term. New DUI SR-22 policies in Hawaii are written almost exclusively by non-standard carriers like Dairyland, GAINSCO, and Acceptance.

Does Hawaii SR-22 requirement transfer if I move to another state?

No — Hawaii's SR-22 filing is specific to Hawaii's Administrative Driver's License Revocation Office and does not transfer. If you move to another state during your three-year filing period, you must notify Hawaii, obtain SR-22 from a carrier licensed in your new state, and maintain both filings until Hawaii's three-year period expires.
